Organisers of the launch of 55,000 firework rockets believe they have set a world record but may have to wait a week for official confirmation.
About 50,000 people watched the record attempt above the Plymouth Sound in Devon on Wednesday.
It took place at the 10th anniversary British Firework Championships, and to qualify all rockets had to be fired within a five-second period.
Fifteen specially-constructed frames laced with pyrotechnic fuses were ignited electronically to challenge the previous tally of 39,210 rockets set by Terry McDonald in the Channel Island of Jersey in 1997.
