In Pics: Celebrations of America's Independence Day

This year marked the 243rd celebration of the American Independence Day yesterday, with parties, fireworks displays, a Presidential parade and baseball matches across the USA.

Also, this year, Mount Vernon, the home of the first US President George Washington, hosted a naturalisation ceremony for 51 immigrants from 28 countries who were sworn in as American citizens.

Let’s take a look at some of the scenes from the Fourth of July celebrations.
