''Fireworks Display - Sunday 5 November at Lower Castle Park''

The fireworks display at Castle Park on Sunday, 5 November, was a great success! With nearly 10,000 people in attendance, it was quite the spectacle. It's unfortunate that a few hundred people were unable to enter due to an overwhelming number of attendees the Colchester Fireworks display app was crashing, but it's a testament to the popularity of the event.

As a security officer, my role was to ensure the safety of the attendees and the overall success of the event. At the same time, I also enjoyed the crowd and the display. Fireworks displays can be a wonderful experience for attendees and those working behind the scenes.

I saw a couple of families from the CNS, and the young boys and girls were in attendance. I am sure they must have enjoyed the fireworks as well. Events like these often create lasting memories for people of all ages. Overall, it was a fantastic evening at Castle Park.
