Tonight, there are light shows around the centre of Lancaster, including in the Castle and the Priory Church, a kind of secular Diwali. We have posted about Diwali in the Angrezi Raj and in Leicester so I thought that it was appropriate to mention this civic semi-equivalent in Lancaster.
More generally, we share each other's celebrations, like Chinese New Year (see Kinds Of Dragons and China) and the end of Ramadan (see Barfi And Samosas).

Kaor, Paul!
I also thought of the sky illumination of the Imperial banner which we see in Chapter 1 of ENSIGN FLANDRY at the Coral Palace. The flag of the Empire seems to have been a stylized sunburst on a royal blue field. Which was reproduced as a sky illumination as part of the celebrations of Emperor Georgios' birthday.

Sean,
Very good.

Kaor, Paul!
Anytime! Quite often, I've seen mention of the sunburst as an Imperial symbol.
