(July 4, 2012, 11:11 p.m.) -- Rumors of a private and shortened Queen Mary fireworks show this year were greatly exaggerated as the annual show again wooed thousands along the Long Beach shoreline.

The show lit up the overcast nighttime sky for fifteen minutes. It included favorite spectacular bursting fireworks, star spinning displays and rockets that created happy faces and planet Saturn-type formations complete with rings.

Not to disappoint, the show ended with a spectacular finale that lit up the bay.

This year, the Long Beach Police Department was out in force along the beach in small four-wheeled dune-buggy type vehicles without lights, catching people lighting "safe and sane" fireworks (legal in some cities including Lakewood, illegal in Long Beach) as well as illegal fireworks (not allowed anywhere in CA) and confiscating the unlit contraband.

Thousands enjoyed the show, but the crowds were noticeably smaller this year.
