Fireworks lit up the sky above Hampton Court Palace as part of a special season of events.

More than 800 people visited the palace for the display to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the Hanoverian ascension to the throne.

The specially-designed Georgian fireworks display on Sunday, September 14, was inspired by the displays put on for King George II and was accompanied by Arcangelo's 30-piece orchestra playing Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks.
