More Celebrations!!

Getting off work early led me to the streets of Grassington, where the royal Jubilee celebrations were still in effect. I grabbed one last delicious burger and took to the streets as well. Chef informed me that after all the music, there was going to be a candle ceremony followed by a firework display. I figured sure why not get into it, I'm going to be here for a while. So I went back and grabbed my video camera and found a nice spot for the show!
The celebration really was something! A sea of people turned the corner at the end of street walking towards the square of the village all holding candles, lighting up the dark Dale night. It truely was an awesome sight. After the last of the candleholders reached the square, everyone started reminiscing and then the fireworks started. Now I've seen pretty awesome firework displays back home but this one actually really good! The Yorkshire sky was lighting up as each one set off its color. At the conclusion of the show, the people started singing a song that finished with applause and socializing. It was definitely an awesome sight to witness!
