Here are some pictures of the afternoon. There are lots more on the sidebar.

It was an exhausting afternoon

Balloons
fireworks
There are lots more photos of this event, the ‘Big Bang’, in the Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery’s flickr group. Click on the sidebar to get to it. Perhaps you are in some of them? 
There were load of people taking photos and it would be fantastic to add to our collection of images of the event. Please feel free to add your photos to the Friends Flickr pool.
All these photos are by Ingrid Beazley except the one of the fireworks which is by Fulvio Rubesa

Nice pictures Ingrid:)
It was a well-organised and lovely event. The Friends volunteers and staff were really helpful.
I wish the Gallery all the best for 2011.
Oh I so wish I could have got there! Family things had to come first so we missed an event which looks as if it was really something special. Congratulations to all the folks who work so hard behind the scenes. My best wishes to everyone at the Gallery. The Friends and DOV for 2011.
