In pictures: Crowds gather as Aberdeen’s Bonfire Night celebrations light up the skies

Aberdeen locals with certainly remember remember this fifth of November.

As with every year before the pandemic, around 10,000 people headed for Aberdeen Beach Esplanade on Saturday night to enjoy the fireworks.

Locals were wrapped up as they braved the chilly sea breeze to take in the evening’s events.

It was a feast for the eyes before the fireworks themselves even started, with fire jugglers and firewalkers entertaining the crowds.

Music Through the Decades was the theme of this year’s display, living up to the high standards set by the likes of musicals and films in years gone by.

Songs included Abba’s Dancing Queen, Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart, Queen’s The Show Must Go On and The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights.

The success of the night comes as the fire service said teams in the north received the smallest number of call-outs in the country – with no attacks on firefighters recorded.

Can you spot yourself in these photos taken by our photographer at the event?

If you have any photos of yourself, friends or family enjoying Bonfire Night across the north and north-east, send them to us at livenews@ajl.co.uk or tag us in your social media posts.
