Driving to work this morning, I heard on Radio 1's News Beat, that there is a scientist in Plymouth who will be setting a new world record this evenining (at the Plymouth Waterfront) for the most amount of fireworks to be set off in one sitting - 55,000 or there abouts, apparently.
I did a quick google search and came up with this and this.

One thing - the first link mentions 10,000 people standing around the Plymouth 'Hoe'. She must be a 'Ho if she has 10k men standing around her...
