Thousands of people took to the streets of Lewes in East Sussex on Tuesday night for the town's annual Bonfire Night celebration.
The festivities are traditionally among the biggest in the UK, and involve parades, displays and fancy dress costumes.
This year's event passed off reasonable peacefully, although police arrested 14 people and four had to be taken to hospital. None of the injuries are believed to be serious.
