THOUSANDS of spectators wrapped up warm to enjoy Flint RNLI’s annual firework display.
The event was started by Flint Town Mayor Norma Davies lighting ‘Barbara’s Beacon’ on Friday evening.
Lighting the beacon was followed by a count down by the crowd to start the spectacular fireworks display at Flint Castle.
Alan Forrester, lifeboat operations manager, said: "The event went very well and the atmosphere was great.
"The display was very well received by the crowds and they gave us a big round of applause at the end."
An RNLI spokesman added: "A lot of time and resources was given by volunteers from Flint ATC Cadets, St John’s Ambulance Flint and Flint and Holywell Rotary Club.
"Without their support we wouldn’t be able to hold such a successful event and raise vital funds for the RNLI."
Since 1966 Flint Lifeboat has launched more than 700 times, saved 103 lives, and rescued a further 148 people.
