Pictures from the Lyme Regis fireworks display on the Cobb

Both Lyme Regis and Bridport held festivities in their respective towns on Saturday night (November 2) to commemorate Guy Fawkes night.

The free event in Lyme Regis, organised by the Lyme Regis Carnival and Regatta, drew in the crowds, with picturesque photographs showing the dazzling display illuminating the seawaters below from the Cobb.
