For me at least this is such a wonderful spectacle. The burning of the galley is amazing. Probably can’t something like this in the US.
It’s so sad that Shetland has bought into the Green Party, socialist agenda.

I don’t see drunks or crazies, but a well organized (check the spacing of the torches and the fluidity of the marching .... amazing !) city/community

Yes! Too bad they can’t webcast the events from yesterday/last night when the squads/krewes visit hospitals/elderly care homes and such and preform for those who can’t get out.
Some is on YouTube.An excerpt from The up Helly Aa song.
From grand old Viking centuries Up-Helly-A’ has come,
Then light the torch and form the march, and sound the rolling drum:
And wake the mighty memories of heroes that are dumb;
The waves are rolling on.
Chorus: Grand old Vikings ruled upon the ocean vast,
Their brave battle-songs still thunder on the blast;
Their wild war-cry comes a-ringing from the past;
We answer it “A-oi”!
Roll their glory down the ages,
Sons of warriors and sages,
When the fight for Freedom rages,
Be bold and strong as they!
Of yore, our firey fathers sped upon the Viking Path;
Of yore, their dreaded dragons braved the ocean in its wrath;
And we, their sons, are reaping now their glory’s aftermath;
The waves are rolling on.
