Richmond: Annual Firework Display 5th Nov at Richmond School

Morning folks, just one week to go before the Richmond Town Council annual fireworks display at Richmond School.

Who remembers being held in the Castle?

My Mam used to take me up Sleegill to watch them from there. I seem to remember the Rotary Club came by with a collection bucket and I was allowed to throw the coins in.

Who's coming to the display this year?
