Readers have described their disappointment at this year's Saltwell Park Bonfire Night fireworks event with the organisers coming under fire after reports of 'overcrowding' and an underwhelming display.
Organisers Metro Radio have confirmed they'll be investigating after the Gateshead event drew heavy criticism over queues reportedly lasting over an hour for some spectators and various members of the public branded the event's organisation 'dangerous'.
More than 20,000 people are estimated to have turned out on Bonfire Night to celebrate the return of the giant fireworks display which last took place in 2019.
