An incredible ten-minute pyrotechnic display entertained up to 250,000people who went into central London for the evening, plus millions morewho watched on TV. As the fireworks finished, three PRG Europe-supplied Lightning Strikes made a strobe-like effect on the smoke which was still hanging in the air.
The display was produced by the London office of communications agency Jack Morton Worldwide, who produced and staged the opening and closing ceremonies for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, which was also lit by PRG Europe. The project manager for PRG Europe was John McEvoy.
