Blitz Fireworks provides a winning display

Blitz Fireworks from Crewe in Cheshire has been announced as last night’s winner at the British Firework Championships after leaving crowds in awe.

Shellscape, Blitz Fireworks and Northern Lights Fireworks were the three pyrotechnic companies performing tonight, which saw thousands of spectators watch displays light up the sky in Plymouth.

Blitz Fireworks were the second display of the evening.

They will be joined by PYRO 1, Reaction Fireworks and MLE Pyrotechnics for a second spectacular evening. Battling it out, a winner from tomorrow’s displays will be announced before an overall winner from the two-day showdown.

Over the two evenings the organisers of the winning display will be crowned ‘British Firework Champion 2014’.

The British Firework Championships are jointly organised by The Event Services Association (TESA) and Plymouth City Council, in association with The Herald and the University of St Mark & St John.
