London's famous riverside New Year's Eve fireworks display has been cancelled for a second year because of "uncertainties caused by Covid".

England was under strict lockdown last year, but despite all restrictions having been lifted, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has again called the event off.

Normally about 100,000 people pack the streets around Victoria Embankment.
Explaining why this year's event was also being cancelled, a spokesperson for the mayor said: "Due to the uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, our world-famous New Year's Eve display will not be held on the banks of the Thames this year.

There will still be a celebration in Trafalgar Square, with details to be announced "in due course".

"Last year's successful show took place in a slightly different way due to the pandemic, and this year a number of exciting new options are being considered as part of our New Year's Eve celebrations in London."

History of Fireworks
Many historians believe that fireworks originally were developed in the second century B.C. in ancient Liuyang, China. It is believed that the first natural "firecrackers" were bamboo stalks that when thrown in a fire, would explode with a bang because of the overheating of the hollow air pockets in the bamboo. The Chinese believed these natural "firecrackers" would ward off evil spirits.

Sometime during the period 600-900 AD, legend has it that a Chinese alchemist mixed potassium nitrate, sulfur and charcoal to produce a black, flaky powder – the first “gunpowder”. This powder was poured into hallowed out bamboo sticks (and later stiff paper tubes) forming the first man made fireworks.

Fireworks made their way to Europe in the 13th century and by the 15th century they were widely used for religious festivals and public entertainment. The Italians were the first Europeans to manufacture fireworks and European rulers were especially fond of the use of fireworks to “enchant their subjects and illuminate their castles on important occasions.”

Bonfire Night - Gunpowder Plot
Why does the UK celebrate Guy Fawkes Night?
Guy Fawkes Night, held every year on the 5th November, marks the anniversary of the discovery of a plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill King James I in London in 1605 by Guy Fawkes Robert Catesby and their band of conspirators. They were discovered and parliament and the King were saved.
