Good evening and welcome to Hull, where the city is preparing | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
to celebrate becoming the UK City of Culture. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
In just over an hour, there will be a huge fireworks | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
display from the middle of the Humber. | :00:18. | :00:18. | |
Already parts of the city have been turned into a light show, | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
as Hull begins its year in the spotlight. | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
A look back at a century of Hull's history opened its reign | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
as UK City of Culture - light and sound recreating | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
moments like the Blitz, the annual Hull Fair | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
and Hull City's Premier League promotion. | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
I's read all the negative stuff in the papers | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
and people's comments, but tonight, yeah, brilliant. | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
If it goes on as good as this, it'll be | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
I liked the bit where it said "We are Hull" and there were all | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
In some ways, I want to keep it secret, but in other | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
ways it's great to celebrate Hull and this is a great night. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
From Hull's history to its future, with the first baby born | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
Little Lincoln's footprint will join ones taken from every baby born | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
during City of Culture year to make a huge picture like this. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
It's amazing to have the first baby born | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
It's lovely to see the baby's footprints. | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
They will be able to look back on it when they are | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Kicking off tonight's party is a DJ used to a smaller crowd. | :01:27. | :01:37. | |
Linda Levantiz is the landlady at Hull's Bonny Boat pub, | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
but tonight, she will use her two iPods to entertain 25,000 people | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
I'm not a DJ, I just play music in the pub and, hopefully, | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
If I can see who is in the crowd I can play for them. | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
If not, I'll just play what they can sing along to, | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
Getting ready for that main event, two barges full of fireworks heading | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
With 15,000 on board, 2017 really will come in with a bang. | :02:06. | :02:26. | |
