Thousands of people and at least one swan came down to the Pier Head and Albert Dock to see the final show.

Memorable for me was The Farm’s All Together Now.

Remember boy that your forefather’s died
Lost in millions for a country’s pride
Never mention the trenches of Belgium
When they stopped fighting and they were one

A spirit stronger than war was at work that night
December 1914 cold, clear and bright
Countries’ borders were right out of sight
They joined together and decided not to fight

All together now, all together now
All together now in no man’s land (together)
All together now (all together), all together now (all together)
All together now (together, together)
In no man’s land (together, together)

The same old story again
All those tears shed in vain
Nothing learnt and nothing gained
Only hope remains

All together now, all together now
All together now in no man’s land (together)
All together now (all together), all together now (all together)
All together now in no man’s land (together)
All together now (all together now), all together now (all together now)
All together now (together, together)
In no man’s land (together, together)

The boys had their say, they said no (all together now)
Stop the slaughter, let’s go home
Let’s go, let’s go (all together now)
Let’s go (all together now), let’s go home
All together now (together, together)
In no man’s land (together, together)
All together now (all together now), all together now (all together)
All together now (together, together)
In no man’s land (together, together

It lasted just over half an hour and was LOUD and visually stunning with acrobats, choirs and big screen videos.
Usually its hard to get a good view at big events like this, but there were no such problems here as most of the action took place high up on the buildings surrounding the Hall.

Wombats were good, dare I say better than Ringo !

Nice food in Kimos as well.

What a night . Looking forward to the rest of 2008 celebrations.
