A fireworks display over West Kirby's Marine Lake has set a record and raised £5,523 for the town's volunteer lifeboat crews.
The annual display, hosted by West Kirby Sailing Club on Saturday 7 November, raised the money for West Kirby and Hoylake RNLI through collections and retail sales.
Of the total money raised, £4,798 came from collections and £725 from retail.
Richard Diamond, lifeboat operations manager at West Kirby RNLI, said: "We really cannot thank everyone enough for the enormous support shown on Saturday evening."
"It was incredible to see so many people turn out and to raise £5,523 in a single evening is absolutely fantastic. We're so grateful to everyone who came along and donated to support our crew."
He also thanked West Kirby Sailing Club, saying the stations were "fortunate to have a brilliant relationship with the club".
The RNLI relies on donations to fund its 24-hour search and rescue service, and its crews and lifeguards have saved more than 146,700 lives since the charity was founded in 1824.
Our Bonfire Night guide listed this year's displays across Wirral.
The money will go towards the work of the volunteer crews at both stations.
