The annual Yarmouth fireworks display and procession takes place on Thursday from 6pm.
The free display, organised by the Yarmouth Carnival Committee, has been taking place for more than 50 years.
Crowds will gather in the town’s square before moving on, with a torch-light display, to the common for the display over the Solent.
Local businesses can create their own Guy Fawkes’ figures to display in their shop windows or outside their premises, with prizes for the best displays. Volunteers will be in the town with collecting buckets for donations to the display.

The IW Community Club, Cowes, is also hosting a display next Saturday. Doors open, 6pm, disco 7pm-late, fireworks at 8pm, free entry. Kitchen open.
