Liverpool`s 800th Birthday

Liverpool is 800 years old this weekend.
A mammoth party featuring one of the world's biggest fireworks displays will be held to celebrate Liverpool's 800th anniversary tomorrow. The centrepiece of the 800th anniversary is a four-day party extravaganza over August Bank Holiday, to mark the granting of Liverpool's first charter, by King John on August 28, in 1207. This proves to be an incredible day in Liverpool`s history. Already flags are flying in many streets, lined with bunting as individual communities have their own street parties. Then of course
we are the European city of Culture in 2008..........
