C. T. Brock & Co.'s Grand Evening Fete
20th May 1896

For the Queen's birthday in 1896 a spectacular fete and fireworks display were held in Carolina Port, Dundee. This programme lists all the fireworks and the music which was played by the band of the 1st Forfar Artillery Volunteers, directed by William Wallace, one of Dundee's leading musicians.

The climax of the event was a "colossal fire portrait of Her Majesty the Queen", showing the dates 1819 (when she was born) and 1896. One of the displays was designed to imitate the Aurora Borealis.
