Fireworks at Baxter Park, Dundee
A major power failure led to a delay of several minutes before Dundee's two fireworks nights displays got under way.
With minutes to go, a generator powering the Radio Tay outdoor entertainment unit at Baxter Park broke down, plunging the stage into darkness.
Radio Tay DJ Stuart Webster used a megaphone to inform the crowd of thousands there was a technical issue but assured everyone the Night At The Movies-inspired fireworks show would go ahead.
As the displays at Baxter Park and Lochee Park were due to be synchronised the decision was taken to delay both until 7.08.
A council spokesman apologised for the hitch and hoped the crowds had enjoyed the displays nonetheless.
