Hull – The City of Culture!!!  What a night!!!

The only fly in the ointment is the lamentable Hull City Council. There are still road-works and open sites, lots of construction sites!! It all should have been finished in time! They should have pulled out all the stops! This was Hulls big chance to shine and they have let us down again!!

The New Theatre closed!! It is a joke!!

Hull is brilliant! We had a SUPERB display! Why oh why don’t the council get themselves sorted out?

Proud of Hull!!! Hull City of Culture – Light Show Victoria Square. Some photos.

Fabulous!! Great!! Stunning!!

And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here!

The organisers made great use of the public buildings in Victoria Square to give a brilliant Light Show that showed off the best of Hull and brought tears to the eyes.

It featured all the Hull Heroes from Amy Johnson to Dean Windass. The Blitz, fishing and sport all played out to a great music soundtrack with Bowie, Red Guitars and Roland Gift!! Fabulous!!

Here’s a few photos of City Hall:
