HUNDREDS of Swansea students braved bitterly cold weather to watch the annual Bonfire Night fireworks.
The event, which took place inside St Helen’s Rugby Ground, drew large crowds, with even more watching the display from the beach.
Former X Factor contestant Joe McElderry performed at the event.
The whole of Swansea bay was lit up as many groups of students made their own bonfires and set off fireworks on the beach. Despite reports of some firework mishaps, there were no reported injuries.
“I don’t think many people are as lucky as Swansea students to be able to have a bonfire on the beach,” said second year history student Megan Jones.
“You could tell that everyone was enjoying themselves and there was a nice vibe throughout the whole night.”
