Fury sparked by firework show );

ORGANISERS of a fireworks display in Henley have been lambasted over the noise, which was likened to a bomb going off.
Residents living up to several miles away complained about the loud bangs coming from the event at the Henley Showground on Saturday evening.
They said their animals were terrified and houses shook and one compared the explosions to the sound of war.
However, the organisers said the show was designed to cheer people up and members of the audience said they enjoyed the evening and it was well organised.
The display, which was staged by Xplosive Events, of Wallingford, was due to be held on Bonfire Night but had to be postponed due to the second national lockdown. It was rearranged for Saturday at the showground off Marlow Road.
