Invited to design a mesmerising show as part of the Mayor of London’s New Year’s Eve fireworks and lighting display, SKYMAGIC worked with Jack Morton to create an emotive performance that would inspire the world during the Pandemic.

We brought to life some of the most iconic moments of 2020, with formations including The Nightingale, Captain Sir Tom Moore and Sir David Attenborough’s turtle, as well as a humorous nod to the all-too-common phrase from a year of video-calling, “you’re on mute”.

With special narration from Sir David Attenborough, the 10-minute show designed for home-viewing and created in collaboration with the BBC, was broadcast live on BBC1 and watched by a global viewing audience of millions. It was the UK’s largest and London’s first ever large-scale drone show.
