Horncastle Lions spokesman, Bob Wayne, said: “It really was a perfect day. We were very lucky with the weather which was bright and sunny during the day.

“We always stress that this is a very much a community bonfire.”

Over in East Kirkby, the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre not only held a fireworks display but also a taxy run with Avro Lancaster NX611 during the afternoon and evening on Saturday.

Visitors also saw an original WW2 searchlight at work to get a feel for the atmosphere of a WW2 airfield at night. There were also re-enactors in costume hosting talks in the hangar.

Guests were able to feast on a hog roast and enjoy the fireworks display and organisers said the event went really well overall.
