It's great to celebrate Independance Day at the American Air Force bases in Britain!!
The largest fireworks shows are generally at RAF Lakenheath, which about 30 minutes from Cambridge. All the surrounding base personnel (6 bases within 90 minutes drive) go to the Heath for hot dogs, hamburgers (Imported American beef), and loads of patriotic stuff like that there.
The fireworks go off about 11pm (since it stays light pretty late) and it's shake the kids awake time, they watch the show and then back to sleep as parents take an hour to get out and then an hour to drive home.
A little slice of America in the Home Country.
Happy Day, ya'll.
