Here are last years photos as well, as i realised i hadn't put them up anywhere else. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=84062&id=534765279&l=2cdd788545
This years Lewes Celebrations felt somberer, and more angry. Once again whoever it is who decides these things invited too many police, forgetting that having done this for many many years, Lewesians really do know how to police themselves. There were police excercising 'crowd control' tactics in areas where it was dangerous to do so, as it hindered the flow of people. Also, outside some of the pubs whole rows of police stood watching the people drinking there. Most years the police are fine, so i'm not having a go, but there's was an unnecessarily large presence this year, which always makes people, especially young people, feel more angsty and is generally a silly mistake by the council. Stop having so many police, it doesn't work.
This year commercial square bonfire society (where we usually go) was angry about MP's expenses, you'll see the elaborate effigy below, which was blown up as the last set of fireworks to go off at the end of commercial square's firework display.
Anyway, here are some photos from this year.
