I watched this on TV with my partner and told here it was not live, but CGI. However, looking at some newspaper reports today, there was apparently a 'secret' fireworks display and drone show. Other photos seem to show a light display at the London Eye and ex-GLC building.

I believe the drones and fireworks by the dome were real. The PLA notice to mariners closing the river for filming is at http://www.pla.co.uk/assets/m63of2020-blackwallreach-exclusionzonelocaltrafficcontrol-filmingoperations.pdf
Most of the flashing lights, that I assume we're live, were between Tower Bridge and London Bridge which isn't very visible from the usual Millennium Wheel vantage points where the idiots probably gathered.

We had clear line of sight to a massive 10 minute display east of the Eye.

The fireworks and drones over the dome weren't live. It isn't clear from the media coverage of people in town what they actually saw. I think your outrage may be a little misplaced.
