Southampton skies were lit up with a stunning display of fireworks last night.

Residents watched in awe as the dazzling spectacle marked the departure of Cunard’s flagship cruise ships.

Queen Victoria and Queen Mary 2 set sail from the city, accompanied by bright bursts of colour spinning along the skyline.
