AN ESTIMATED 12,500 people enjoyed a fireworks display at Waltham Forest Town Hall last night (Monday November 5).

The display, in Chestnuts Field behind the building in Forest Road, Walthamstow, was free to attend for the first time in recent years as a "thank you" to residents for putting up with disruption during the Oympics.

The popular annual event also included food stalls and fairground rides for the crowds to enjoy.
