The final firework display of the summer came to an explosive end last night.

Thousands of people lined The Esplanade, Weymouth, and packed onto the beach to watch the colourful display as it lit up the sky.

The event was free, but visitors were encouraged to donate the mayor's charity.

The fireworks programme was launched back in July to complement the array of annual events hosted in Weymouth.

The events have also given visitors the opportunity to enter some fantastic competitions, in which entrants could win £500 or the chance of winning a short break at one of Haven’s award-winning holiday parks in either Littlesea or Weymouth Bay.

The contest was supported by Alexandra Gardens and Haven Littlesea and Weymouth Bay.
