"Artistic gymnastics is pure theatre and artistry whether your country is competing or not. It is one of the most aesthetically pleasing sports at the Olympics, and certainly one of the most awe-inspiring as hardly anyone has the skill to pull off the feats you will see. Team GB have a good chance of doing really well. Beth Tweddle is desperately after her first Olympic medal after success at every other major competition. On the men's side, Louis Smith will be looking to improve on his bronze from the last Olympics. Elsewhere, Japan's Kohei Uchimura is a complete gymnast and a once-in-a-generation talent."
One of the world's oldest sports, it featured prominently in the ancient Games and has been part of every modern Olympics since their inception in 1896.
Ironically, given their absence until 1928, it could be argued that the women have provided the most memorable moments in Olympic gymnastics.
Olga Korbut's spectacular uneven parallel bars routine in 1972 and Nadia Comaneci's perfect 10 in Montreal four years later are tightly woven into the fabric of Olympic history.
For Great Britain the sport has traditionally offered little cause for celebration but the 2008 Olympics was a watershed, with Louis Smith's bronze in the pommel horse the country's first since the women's team finished third in 1928.
Gymnastics requires strength, mobility, endurance, flexibility, body control and co-ordination.
The high level of physical fitness needed to excel helps encourage a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity and eating a well-balanced diet.
The wide range of tumbles, flips, vaults and swings involved works every muscle in the body and burns approximately 315 calories per hour.
As a weight-bearing activity, gymnastics can help athletes develop strong, healthy bones and joints. This reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis later on in life.
Gymnastics is a breathtaking sport featuring a range of disciplines such as artistic, trampoline, acrobatics, aerobics and tumbling.
It is enjoyed by an estimated four million people in the United Kingdom.
There are more than 1,600 gymnastic clubs in the country and you can find the one closest to you by using the British Gymnastics club finder.

Nadia Comaneci of Romania was just 14 when she made Olympic history in 1976 by scoring the first 'perfect 10'. It came on the uneven bars and, incredibly, six more perfect scores followed. She ended up with three gold medals in Montreal.

The days of the perfect 10 are over, as the Beijing Games saw the introduction of a new judging system. Gymnasts are now given two separate scores for difficulty and execution which are then added together.
A fall usually results in a full mark being knocked off your score, with smaller penalties for other minor errors such as stepping a foot out of bounds during the floor routine. The gymnast with the highest score wins.

Three-time world champion Beth Tweddle will have two shots at an elusive Team GB Olympic medal (floor, uneven bars), while Beijing pommel horse bronze medallist Louis Smith and team-mates Daniel Keatings and Daniel Purvis are all contenders.
Smith and Tweddle offer Britain's best chance of sealing a first-ever Olympic gymnastics gold.
Japan's Kohei Uchimura is the man to beat, having won an unprecedented three consecutive all-around world titles.
All-around champion Nastia Liukin will not defend her title but the American is back from a two-year break to target the beam, bar and team events. Teenage world champion Jordyn Wieber of the USA is all-around favourite.
The ancient Greeks were the first to popularise gymnastics among the sports staged at their initial incarnation of the Olympic Games. Modern artistic gymnastics can trace its roots to Germany, where more modern styles and forms of apparatus were first codified.
The sport's world governing body was founded in 1881 and artistic gymnastics has formed a part of the Olympic programme ever since the first Games of 1896.
The word gymnastics derives from the Greek for naked, gymnos, since gymnasts in the ancient Games performed in the nude. The use of clothing in the modern games will have been a relief to all competitors, not least to those taking part in the rope climbing competition which was a regular feature of the gymnastics programme until 1932.
Since those first Games in Athens the sport has undergone a process of evolution. It began as a purely male pursuit, with female participants not taking part until 1928.
Some of the disciplines were also different during those early years - rope climbing formed part of every Olympics until 1932. Tumbling, won by Rowland 'Flip' Wolfe of the USA, also featured in 1932. Sadly for Flip that was its one and only Olympic appearance.
In 1936, the individual apparatus events began to resemble those we see at the Games today. Competitors in Berlin took part in free exercises (floor exercises), side horse (pommel horse), rings, parallel bars, horizontal bar and long horse (vault).
The four-apparatus competitive programme for women (vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor) was introduced at the 1952 Games.
Historically, Russia, China, Japan and the US have been the powerhouses on the world stage and are likely to be the strongest nations again in London.

The Church of England should do nothing which could "lead to violence" against anti-capitalism protesters, the canon chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral has said after resigning from his post.

Dr Giles Fraser quit "with great regret and sadness", having been sympathetic to activists camping in the churchyard.
He told the BBC he hoped a solution between the two sides would be negotiated, rather than enforced.
The cathedral will reopen on Friday lunchtime after a week-long closure.
It shut on health and safety grounds because of the large number of tents outside.
A special service will be held to mark the reopening at 12:30 BST but its dome and galleries will stay shut "for the time being", a spokeswoman said.
Differences over the handling of the protest are thought to have prompted Dr Fraser's decision, the BBC's religious affairs correspondent Robert Pigott said.
Demonstrators, who are protesting against alleged corporate greed and inequality, have vowed to remain for several weeks.
The City of London Corporation's planning committee is due to hear legal advice on Friday and decide whether to take court action against the demonstrators.
Occupy London Stock Exchange (OLSX) said it had reorganised the camp to allow the cathedral's reopening, but said the issue of legal action was "a minefield" in terms of land ownership and the human rights.
Dr Fraser, who was a former vicar of Putney, had taken up the cathedral post, a Crown appointment, in 2009.
"This is not a simple issue and I don't think anybody is trying to claim moral high ground on this at all," he said.
"My colleagues who've acted differently to me are quite right in saying that they want to reopen the cathedral; they want the cathedral to get on with its life.
"And, if I can argue their side as well, the truth of the matter is there are all sorts of people who are being adversely affected by the camp and I would like the camp to move on too, because I think it does have an effect on small traders and ordinary people in the area.
"But what I'm not prepared to do is sanction the use of force in order to do that."
After Dr Fraser's resignation, the Dean of St Paul's, the Right Reverend Graeme Knowles, said he was "sorry to see him go".
"Giles has brought a unique contribution to the life and ministry of St Paul's," he said.
"He has developed the work of the St Paul's Institute and has raised the profile of our work in the City.
"We are obviously disappointed that he is not able to continue to his work with Chapter during these challenging days.
"We will miss his humour and humanity and wish Giles and his family every good wish into the future."
Ronan McNern from OLSX said Dr Giles was a "man of principles" and activists were "very grateful for the respect and support" he had shown them by defending their right to protest.
"The fact that he has resigned shows a clear split within the cathedral."
Another spokesman for the group said if Dr Fraser wanted to join the camp they would provide him with a tent.
The protesters said they were still open for dialogue.
When the camp was first set up, Dr Fraser said he was happy for the demonstrators to stay and asked police to scale back their presence.
He has refused to sanction the use of force to remove them as pressure mounts on the cathedral to join in legal action against protesters, our correspondent said.
The Bishop of London, the Rt Revd Richard Chartres, who had also called on the protesters to go, said Dr Fraser was an "important voice in the Church" and should continue to be heard.
"I regret his resignation because his is a very important voice, and while obviously it's a matter between him, the dean, and the rest of the chapter, I've got a certain pastoral responsibility for Giles.
"I think his is a voice which really ought to be heard," Dr Chartres said.
"It would be a tragedy if it was silenced."
The cathedral claimed to be losing Â£20,000 a day since its closure.


John McGuinness has said he has been "absolutely overwhelmed" with fans' support following a crash at the North West 200 in Northern Ireland.

The 45-year-old racer from Morecambe broke four vertebrae, three ribs and fractured his leg.
The Honda rider tweeted: "Me & my family have been absolutely overwhelmed with the support from the fans."
The Englishman's injuries mean he will be unable to compete at this year's Isle of Man TT races.
The TT begins with a week of qualifying on 27 May before competition starts on 3 June.
His 23 wins place him second in the all-time TT list behind the legendary late Joey Dunlop, who won 26 times.
In a second tweet he said it is going to be a "long road to recovery" and that he was "sorry to let everybody down."
McGuinness is being treated at Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital.
The Honda Racing rider crashed at Primrose Hill during last Thursday's Superbike qualifying.
The team, which also includes Guy Martin, immediately withdrew from the North West 200.
Organisers said: "John has competed at the North West 200 since 1994 and is one of road racing's greatest ambassadors.
"We would like to offer him a very speedy recovery from his injuries."


London Broncos chief executive Gus Mackay has warned the Rugby Football League must be cautious over the proposed restructuring of the game, and that London must retain a representative in Super League.

Super League and Championship clubs are set to vote on three new options for league competition, which were unveiled by the RFL earlier this month as part of their policy review.
"We need to make sure whatever decision is taken is the right one for the longevity of the game," Mackay told BBC London 94.9.
"We mustn't forget the investment which has been put into clubs by owners and clubs themselves and it has got to be clear for the fans to understand.
"You want your best players playing against each other the whole time and all the clubs want to play the big sides because there are commercial benefits.
Option 1 - Super League reverts to a 12-team competition (from 14) and a 10 or 12-team Championship, with one club promoted and relegated each year
Option 2 - A two-division Super League with each division comprising 10 teams
Option 3 - Two divisions of 12 in Super League, with teams playing each other once to provide 11 fixtures before splitting into three groups of eight in mid-season and then playing each other home and away to provide 14 more matches
"There is a lot of work to be done and in a short timeframe as well."
At present, places in Super League are subject to a licensing system, which has been in operation since 2009.
The RFL has proposed a Super League and Championship with one club promoted and relegated each season, a two-division Super League or two Super League divisions of 12 teams which split into three divisions of eight halfway through the season.
The consultation process is expected to continue throughout the summer, with clubs set to vote on any recommendations later in the year.
No changes can be introduced until the start of the 2015 season.
Mackay says that the financial implications of any restructure will have to be carefully considered before the Broncos decide which option to back.
"We need to understand all the options and the financial models which go with them before we make a decision of what we are going to support," he added.
"We have discussed it internally, with the chairman [David Hughes], the board and the coach [Tony Rea], but we are not going to make a decision or give a view at this stage until we have all the options on the table.
"The big part in all this is what is the financial impact is if you are not in the top 12 or the three eights or wherever it turns out to be. That has to be taken into consideration.
"You have got to look at how you are going to sell season tickets and the likely commercial impact of lower gates."
With a burgeoning semi-professional game and a newly formed Championship One competition this season, including new sides such as Hemel Stags,Oxford and the University of Gloucestershire All Golds, Mackay is mindful that the game needs to continue developing.
The danger in London is the uncertainty that the re-introduction of promotion and relegation would bring.
It could force the best out of the team, club and structure, resulting in improved performance levels.
But it could easily put pressure on one of the sport's weak spots and, with the possibility of the side not being in Super League, in the worst case scenario, spell the end for the club.
The key for Broncos is that being out of the top division would make the game even harder to sell to investors, sponsors and fans. And it's hard enough as it is.
Having to function as a part-time side would also change the sporting landscape at the club dramatically.
Although the Broncos have never finished bottom of Super League it has been a few years since they were in the higher echelons.
With that in mind and their desire to be in the game's top division, option 2 or 3 may not suit them.
Ian Ramsdale, BBC London 94.9 rugby league reporter.
"I think that is one of the challenges the sport faces - trying to integrate a fully professional league with a semi-professional one," Mackay said.
"That has got to be looked at in detail.
"If you talk just promotion and relegation, as in football, it does allow clubs to go down and rebuild, steady themselves and have another go. But you do need parachute payments.
"Before my time I understand clubs went up to Super League, gave it everything, then went down and were then no longer about.
"Licensing has seen clubs find hard times and so has promotion/relegation."
Mackay believes option three, which sees two divisions of Super League splitting mid-season, could over-complicate the sport.
"When you do these structures and people come up with new ideas, the one which comes from left-field is always the one which is talked about the most," Mackay said.
"It is different and I understand trying to be creative and different but we need to keep it simple.
"We mustn't forget what we are about and what we are trying to achieve."
Warrington coach Tony Smith says that substantial changes to Super League could cause "mayhem" and Mackay is keen to stress that London should retain a representative in the top division.
"That's fundamentally a big part of Super League and it has to be," Mackay said.
"We have to do whatever we can, working with the governing body and other parties, to make sure that there is a Super League club in London.
"Otherwise it just drifts and becomes a sport that is only played in the heartlands, which is wrong."


East Hampshire District Council has approved a 2.6% cut in council tax for 2017-18.

The decision comes as the majority councils are increasing the charge, many by the maximum 4.99%.
It is the second consecutive year the Conservative-run authority has reduced its share of the charge.
The council says it eventually aims to cut council tax to zero and free itself from relying on government grants by becoming financially independent.
Council leader Ferris Cowper said: "We have shown it is possible for councils to make their own money, without increasing the tax burden on their residents and without cutting services."
East Hampshire District Council has been marketing its services to other authorities to bring in extra income - departments including planning, regeneration and communications are expected to generate nearly £1m this financial year.
The authority has also bought a number of commercial properties, including the Iceland store in Alton, which in total, it says, generate nearly £850,000 a year for its services.
The latest cut will make the district council share of council tax for a band D property £131.11, down from £134.55.
Council tax rises of 5% or more require a local referendum.


A father whose toddler son was shot dead in a cafe in Turkey will mark the anniversary of his death by campaigning for global action against firearms.

David Grimason has been calling for tighter controls since his two-year-old son Alistair was killed during a gunfight at a Turkish cafe in 2003.
Mr Grimason will be at the UN in New York, attending the final negotiations for an international arms trade treaty.
He said a strong treaty was the biggest tribute he could give to Alistair.
The family were holidaying in the seaside village of Foca when their son was killed on 7 July 2003.
The youngster was asleep in his pram when an argument broke out at a nearby table and a man opened fire.
On the ninth anniversary of his son's death, Mr Grimason said: "It's always a difficult day for me.
"Every year since Alistair was killed I've visited his grave in East Kilbride.
"But this year I've taken the decision to be at the United Nations negotiations. It's the best tribute I can give to Alistair I suppose, to try and effect change and to stop these tragedies happening to other families.
"I was a father back in 2003, just enjoying life. When Alistair was killed, it destroyed his life, my family's life - it's a very difficult life to lead, being the victims of gun violence."
Mr Grimason said said he had been involved with the Control Arms campaign, run by Amnesty International, IANSA and Oxfam International, since 2004.
He told BBC Radio Scotland: "I do feel something can be achieved. We in Scotland don't have to live with firearms on a daily basis but unfortunately it is a global problem.
"My son was killed in Turkey, where there's a high number of civilians carrying handguns.
"But it's not an isolated problem in Turkey either. It's a global problem, it's worldwide, and this international treaty would prevent the transfer of weapons between nations if there's evidence they're going to be used in violation of international law.
"Hopefully an effective treaty would reduce the flow of weapons throughout the world, over time."
First Minister Alex Salmond met with Mr Grimason before he left Scotland, and said the Scottish government was strongly supportive of an international arms trade treaty.
"David Grimason is to be praised for his work drawing this vital issue to the attention of both the public and the international community," he said.
"His own son was killed in a tragic incident in Turkey yet he has had the courage to speak out to stop others being affected in the same way."
Jamie Livingstone, Oxfam Scotland's campaigns manager, said the charity was "humbled by David's decision".
He added: "It can't have been an easy decision to come to New York at this time, but David is playing a key role in pushing for the sort of legally-binding rules which will save lives."
First Minister Alex Salmond has praised the work of Scottish campaigner David Grimason who is in New York attending the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty Conference.
Today (Saturday) is the anniversary of the death of Alistair Grimason, David's infant son who was tragically shot and killed in Turkey in 2003.


A life-sized statue of AC/DC singer Bon Scott will be unveiled this weekend at an annual Angus festival held in his honour.

This year's BonFest in the rock star's home town of Kirriemuir is expected to attract more than 4,000 fans.
The bronze statue is the result of a two-year crowdfunding campaign which drew support from the band itself.
Former AC/DC bass player Mark Evans will officially unveil the Â£45,000 statue at the event.
Mr Evans said it was a "surreal feeling" to be in Kirriemuir for the occasion.
He said: "It's very emotional, too. I always speak of Bon in the present tense. I feel he's still around.
"To have something like this that's been funded by the fans, the people that he held in his heart is just great.
"It's just fantastic, it's a really warming experience."
Born Ronald Belford Scott, the singer lived in Kirriemuir until the age of six, when his family left Scotland for Australia in 1952, eventually settling in Freemantle.
He was asked to join the band by Glasgow-born brothers and founding members Malcolm and Angus Young in 1974 and achieved international stardom before his death at the age of 33 in 1980.
The festival, now in its tenth year, which begins on Friday, will feature tribute bands from across Europe.
Tony Currenti, who drummed on AC/DC's debut album and Mary Renshaw, Bon Scott's seamstress, will also help unveil the statue on Saturday.
BonFest chairman John Crawford said:  "It's going to be a lasting memorial for Bon.
"There's a statue in Freemantle that draws a lot of visitors and attention so it would be good to have that in Kirriemuir as a permanent memorial."


An event is being held to mark 200 years since the Davy Lamp transformed the safety of mining.

Until 1815, open candles were used and ignited frequent methane explosions.
Sir Humphry Davy's invention is thought to have saved as many as 500,000 lives worldwide and is still in use today.
To mark the occasion on Sunday, Bersham Colliery in Wrexham- now a mining museum - is inviting visitors to bring their Davy Lamps and other industrial heirlooms along for identification.
Davy Lamps work by screening the flame behind a metal mesh, wide enough to let in enough oxygen for combustion, but too fine to allow the flame to flicker beyond the cage.
As well as providing light, it acted as an indicator for the presence of methane - when it would burn with a taller, bluer flame, and of a lack of oxygen, when the lamp would be extinguished.
Alan Jones, chairman of the North Wales Miners Association Trust, said: "Over the last two centuries the Davy Lamp has seen countless tweaks and improvements, like the introduction of a glass window to allow more light, but it's still the same basic principle.
"Even today men working underground will carry a Davy Lamp, because while more sophisticated electronic monitors can fail, a Davy Lamp will always work."
But the Davy Lamp was not without teething problems.
Initially its introduction to mines actually saw a rise in accidents as miners - and more importantly bosses - felt more confident in working parts of pits which had previously been no-go areas.
As Mr Jones explained, many of the early problems were not so much to do with the lamps themselves, but the way they were used.
"The earliest examples, before the glass window was introduced, emitted very little light from behind the mesh, so miners would frequently unscrew the cover to see what they were doing.  Later models had a tamper-proof lock to prevent this.
"Working in damp conditions the mesh would corrode and even a very small break in the mesh could allow the flame to escape and spark an explosion."
Mr Jones said, because of subtle changes over the years, it is possibly to identify roughly where and when a Davy Lamp was made.
"We're not especially interested in valuing them, most are only worth about Â£50 or Â£60, but some of the rarest and oldest examples can sell for over Â£500," he added.
Another of Sir Humphry's inventions could have held the key to the illumination problems as he was also an early pioneer of electric incandescent lighting, although it would take almost another 100 years before electric lights became common in mines.
He also used electrolysis to isolate several new metals such as sodium and calcium for the first time and became an exponent of nitrous oxide or laughing gas as an anaesthetic, so much so he ended up addicted to it.


A New York court will resume hearing a case this week about the possible illegal detention of two chimps at a university lab.

Lawyers acting for the chimps, Leo and Hercules, want them to be moved to an animal sanctuary. Researchers at Stony Brook University are using the chimps for research on physical movement.
In a potentially significant ruling Judge Barbara Jaffe at one stage suggested the chimps had the right of habeas corpus - the ancient legal principle under which the state has an obligation to produce missing individuals before a court.
But having initially used the words "habeas corpus", the judge subsequently struck them out, suggesting the court does not consider the animals to be legal persons.
Hercules and Leo's lawyers say they are not too dispirited as the court is still asking the university to justify why they are holding the chimps.
The case follows another ruling in New York last year, where a judge said a chimp was not entitled to the same rights as people.
The idea that animals could be considered legal persons with rights is relatively new.
But in centuries past animals were quite frequently involved in court cases in which they were put on trial. Most were found guilty of offences such as murder and assault. Punishments included the hanging of animals found guilty.
Opponents of the concept of animal rights argue that since animals have neither a sense of morality nor an understanding of their duties towards others, they can't have rights. Others, in turn, dismiss such views as "speciesist".
Attempts to understand the nature of animal behaviour have sometimes taken the form of highly unusual experiments. In one case a chimp called Nim was brought up with a New York family.
The chimp's full name, Nim Chimpsky, was a play on words. The philosopher Noam Chomsky had argued that animals do not have an innate understanding of grammar and that humans are uniquely hardwired to comprehend language.
The family raising Nim hoped to prove that the chimp in their midst would be capable of grammatically structured sign language. The experiment also focused on Nim's sense of morality.
New Yorker Jenny Lee was 13 years old when Nim, then an infant chimp, was introduced to her family and became her "brother". She believes that even if Nim could not be persuaded to stop biting people, he did display some behaviours that seemed quite human.
"He quickly understood how to say sorry and when sorry was appropriate," Ms Lee told Newshour Extra. "He would very delicately kiss the tears off my cheek."
But animal rights sceptics believe that even if Nim had some humanlike characteristics and some basic communications skills that does not justify blurring the lines between humans and other animals.
"We have to put into different categories, ourselves - humanity that is - and the rest of the living world," says the leading British neurobiologist, Prof Sir Colin Blakemore.
Prof Carl Cohen of the University of Michigan, Anne Arbor shares that view. Animals, he argues, do not know anything about morality: "Animals do not commit crimes, animals are not attacked for their moral views. Rights are a concept special to the human moral code," he says.
While humans have an obligation not to cause animals needless suffering, he argues, that does not mean animals have rights, as the concept is alien to them.
Not all of those seeking to protect animals rely on rights arguments.
Others argue on the basis of utilitarian calculations of maximising happiness and reducing misery. Factors to consider would include the degree of an animal's autonomy, sensitivity to pain, level of sentience, self-awareness and ability to hold preferences.
Undermining a chimp's autonomy, for example, could be taken as increasing its misery. The greater an animal's capacities, the more misery it would experience.
In terms of intelligence and emotional complexity chimps, the argument goes, have more in common with humans than they do with snails. It is a line of reasoning that offers relatively little protection to animals with fewer capacities.
Weakening the distinctions and blurring the lines between humans and animals could have grave implications for humans.
If a healthy chimp, for example, has greater autonomy than a human with dementia then might there be an obligation to look after the chimp ahead of the human?
Advocates of animal liberation have also argued that differing sensitivities to pain might be another relevant consideration in establishing what interests animals have.
Some have even suggested that there may be a case for stopping predation. In other words it might be morally necessary to prevent a zebra living in the wild from being torn to shreds by a lion.

Belgian police have arrested another suspect in connection with the attacks on the Brussels metro system and international airport on 22 March.

The man was identified by federal prosecutors only as Ali E.H.A. aged 31.
He was arrested on suspicion of "terrorist murders" during a search of a house in the Schaerbeek area of the Belgian capital on Thursday.
Three suicide bombers killed 32 people at Brussels international airport and the Maelbeek metro station.
The prosecutors' statement said: "The Belgian national Ali E.H.A., born on 23rd September 1984, was arrested and later put in detention by the investigating judge for participation in the activities of a terrorist group, terrorist murders and attempted terrorist murders, as a perpetrator, co-perpetrator or accomplice."
The prosecutors gave no further information, although Belgian media said the man was being held at Nivelles prison. He is believed to be the 10th suspect arrested. Several have been charged.
La Derniere Heure quoted sources as saying the man was suspected of playing a role in the hideouts of those who carried out the attacks.
A statement from prosecutors on Thursday, the last prior to the arrest, said that six people suspected of involvement in the Belgian attacks had now had their detention extended.
One of them is Mohamed Abrini, who police say has confessed to being the "man in the hat" - the third airport bomber who fled without detonating his device.
Four others arrested in Belgium and suspected of links to those who carried out attacks in Paris last November also had their custody extended, the Belgian prosecutors said. The gun and bomb attacks in the French capital killed 130 people.
Belgian prosecutors say Abrini has told them that the original plan had been to target France but it was switched to Brussels when fellow Paris attack suspect Salah Abdeslam was arrested in the Belgian capital on 18 March.
The Brussels airport bombings were carried out by Ibrahim el-Bakraoui and Najim Laachraoui, while the metro bomber was Khalid el-Bakraoui, Ibrahim's brother.
Abdeslam has been extradited to France.


A goal from Leighton Baines gave Everton a slender lead in their Europa League third qualifying round tie against Slovakian side MFK Ruzomberok on Wayne Rooney's return.

A frustrating display looked set to end in a draw until Baines cracked in a deflected shot from 20 yards.
Rooney was quiet when playing up front but improved once he moved back behind the striker in the second half.
The second leg takes place in Ruzomberok next Thursday.
Everton were dominant in possession throughout but still needed Maarten Stekelenburg to make a crucial save and turn Jan Maslo's header on to the crossbar.
Ronald Koeman gave debuts to summer signings Cuco Martina, Michael Keane, Davy Klaassen and Sandro Ramirez but will need a better performance if they are to reach the play-off round in August and avoid a repeat of him not reaching the group stage with Southampton two years ago.
It is 13 years since the then-teenage Rooney left Everton for Manchester United for £27m, with his move back this summer causing almost as much discussion and debate as his departure.
Is he the same player who left? No. But will he prove to be a shrewd signing for Koeman? For free, you'd think so.
He will be judged against stiffer opposition than the side who finished third in the Slovakian Fortuna Liga last season, but he will also have to play better to even keep his place in a rejuvenated Everton side.
Rooney has spent much of the last few seasons in midfield but started in the centre of a front three, showing some neat touches but also reminders that his sharpest days are perhaps behind him.
He had the best chance of the opening half hour, but his touch was not great and he could not get any power behind a shot, and he and Everton greatly improved once Sandro came on in the second half.
With Sandro stretching the Ruzomberok defence, Rooney and Klaassen looked dangerous in pockets behind him. Finding the right position for Rooney may be Koeman's biggest challenge in the coming weeks.
"It's something I've been looking forward to for the last few weeks," Rooney said.
"It's obviously great to be at Goodison wearing the blue shirt, it was a great feeling.
"But it was an important game for us so I had to put my emotions to one side. I've done that now and can get down to focusing more on the football."
What is not in doubt is that Koeman is in the process of assembling the strongest squad at Goodison in years. Ross Barkley may be set to leave but Everton continue to be linked to Swansea midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson as his replacement.
Even without Sigurdsson, Koeman now has plenty of attacking options to suggest losing Romelu Lukaku's 20+ goals a season may not be a disaster, although another out-and-out striker would be a shrewd addition before the end of August.
Sandro's arrival changed Everton's game, but Klaassen was the pick of the new signings on show, going close with a shot in the first half and a header in the second, all the time knitting together the best of Everton's play on a performance which was very much in pre-season mode.
But considering the injured Yannick Bolasie, Barkley, Ramiro Funes Mori and Seamus Coleman all missed out, £30m goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was on the bench with Sandro, Tom Davies, Gareth Barry, Phil Jagielka and Ademola Lookman and Aaron Lennon, and Muhamed Besic and James McCarthy were not involved at all, it is clear this is a Toffees squad packed with quality.
Whether it is good enough to challenge for a top-four place is another question, so perhaps winning the Europa League remains the best chance for Everton to qualify for the Champions League.
And for all the attacking talent on display, it was left-back Baines who found the breakthrough, scoring with a deflected shot from the edge of the area after a corner was only headed out to him.
Everton boss Ronald Koeman: "It's always difficult against these kind of teams who drop back. We are not 100% yet, it is pre-season and it is a good result. We would like to score more, we had chances but every clean sheet in European football is a good result.
"When Sandro came on Wayne Rooney had more freedom and we had pace up front which made the team better. We know that we would like another striker, you normally need two nines in the squad. I am really confident that we can bring in a good one to make us better.
"It is up to the board if we go back in for Sigurdsson, everyone knows our interest but I don't get involved in the finances."


A "calculating and devious" taxi driver has been handed a whole-life sentence for murdering 20-year-old Becky Godden, who disappeared in 2003.

Christopher Halliwell is already serving a life term for killing Sian O'Callaghan in 2011.
The 52-year-old evaded justice for five years over Ms Godden's death due to police breaching arrest guidelines.
At Bristol Crown Court, judge Sir John Griffiths Williams said Halliwell's defence was a "cock and bull story".
Ms Godden, a sex worker who struggled with drug addiction, went missing after a night out in Swindon.
Jurors heard she argued with Halliwell before getting into his taxi.
For several years, her family believed she had moved to the Bristol area and didn't immediately report her missing.
While police were investigating the disappearance of Ms O'Callaghan, Halliwell offered to take police to "another one" and led Det Supt Steve Fulcher to a field in Gloucestershire where Becky Godden's remains were found.
However, arrest guidelines were not met which meant his confession was inadmissible when the case first went to court.
The charge of murdering Miss Godden was withdrawn until March, when an investigation by Wiltshire Police uncovered overwhelming evidence against Halliwell which meant the confession could be used.
Wiltshire Police have said they will be speaking to other forces about more potential Halliwell victims.
The judge told him he would die in prison, adding: "I have no doubt that you are a self-centred and domineering individual who wants his own way. You are both calculating and devious."
Whole-life tariffs are reserved for offenders judged to be the most dangerous to society.
Offenders who receive them cannot be released other than at the discretion of the justice secretary on compassionate grounds, for example if they are terminally ill or seriously incapacitated.
They are not eligible for a parole review or release but can have their sentence reduced on appeal.
Notorious current whole-life prisoners include police killer Dale Cregan, Mark Bridger, who murdered five-year-old April Jones, Michael Adebolajo, who along with Michael Adebowale killed Fusilier Lee Rigby, and Moors murderer Ian Brady.
There were 53 prisoners serving "whole life" sentences in England and Wales at the end of June 2016, according to official Ministry of Justice statistics.
They made up 0.7% of the 7,361 prisoners serving life sentences.
He added: "You returned to her body again and again over the years to make sure she hadn't been discovered.
"But for your confession, I have no doubt Becky's remains would never have been found.
"You then tried to manipulate the police and the court process to try to avoid getting what you deserved."
The judge told Becky's parents: "You have had to live with every parent's nightmare of a missing child and then the discovery that she had been dead for some years, buried naked in a field.
"You have been deprived of the opportunity we all want to say farewell to our closest and dearest."
In a victim impact statement read to the court by the prosecution, Becky's mother, Karen Edwards, said: "What must she have gone through?
"My whole world has been destroyed. The only thing I can buy her is flowers for her grave.
"I never had a body to kiss goodbye before she was buried."
A statement from Becky's father said: "I always blocked out what she was doing. I do not like to hear how she was used.
"All I've ever wanted was to know the truth. I just wish we could've had closure when Becky was discovered years ago.
"Halliwell has played games with us. Becky will always remain with me, never forgotten. I will live with my memories of her."
Speaking outside of court, Becky's father John Godden said he was angry about how his daughter had been portrayed and he criticised the police investigation into her death.
He said: "I can tell you wonderful things about Becky. Absolutely wonderful things. I am actually sick and tired about the way she's being portrayed.
"She's being portrayed as if she deserved to get murdered. No matter what she did in her life, she didn't deserve to get murdered. And she deserved justice six years ago.
"The Wiltshire Police are massively at fault."


First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has used a speech in Edinburgh to attack the "scale and speed" of spending cuts planned by the UK government.

Speaking ahead of the Queen's Speech, the SNP leader also reiterated her party's support for Britain's continued membership of the European Union.
She made the speech on a visit to Heart of Midlothian FC's Tynecastle Stadium.
She was joined by the Scottish Finance Secretary John Swinney.
The pair also unveiled the Scottish Business Pledge which aims to promote "fairness, equality and sustainable economic growth".
An "alternative to austerity" was the centrepiece of the Scottish National Party's successful general election campaign.
In her first major economic speech since the election, Ms Sturgeon argued that the prime minister cannot ignore the democratic will of the Scottish people.
She said: "The result of the general election provides an opportunity and a challenge for the Scottish government. There is clearly an opportunity to ensure that Scotland's priorities are better understood.
"But there is also a significant challenge in working with a majority government at Westminster - many of whose policies we disagree with.
"We will continue to oppose spending reductions of the scale and speed that the UK government has suggested. These would slow economic recovery and make deficit reduction more difficult - something shown by the impact of the cuts imposed after 2010."
Ms Sturgeon said David Cameron must either change his approach or find ways to lessen the impact on Scotland.
She also said that business, employees and government needed to work more closely together to build a prosperous and cohesive society.
The SNP leader again insisted that the UK should only withdraw from the EU if there was a majority in favour of exit in all four nations of the UK.
She said: "Since a referendum is now inevitable we will work to protect Scotland's interests in that referendum. We'll propose a double majority meaning that exit from the European Union would only be possible if all four nations agreed to that, something that would ensure that Scotland couldn't be forced out of the European Union against our will.
"And during the run up to the referendum, the Scottish government will of course make a strong and positive case for staying in the EU."
The first minister also called on businesses to commit to paying the living wage and promoting fair practices as she launched a new industry code.
Companies wanting to sign up to the Scottish Business Pledge must agree to pay the living wage to all direct employees over 18.
They must also be delivering on at least two of the pledge's nine components, as well as committing to achieving the rest "over time".
Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme, Scottish Finance Secretary Mr Swinney, said: "This has been described by the first minister as a shared national endeavour and I think that's exactly how we should look at this - government and business coming together.
"My priority is to get people into employment and then to make sure that as much of that employment as possible is high quality, productive employment, making a high-value contribution to our society."
Hearts, who recently won promotion back to the Scottish Premiership, are one of the first companies to sign up to the pledge.
The club's chief executive Ann Budge said: "By introducing the living wage across our business, by investing in youth education and staff education, by engaging fully with the community and by working closely with the Foundation of Hearts to introduce fan ownership, we are the perfect match for this initiative."
Businessman Brendan Burns, who operates a forestry company and is a former UK policy chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses, told Radio Scotland's Kaye Adams programme that the Scottish government needed to address more than just the implementation of the living wage.
He said: "I pay more than the living wage, but that is not the point. To be able to pay the living wage, you have to get more efficiency into Scottish businesses.
"At this moment, that is what we don't have. Every businessman I meet will always say 'I would like to pay the living wage', but you can't pay out of a business if the profit isn't there. The profit is there when the business is more efficient."
Scottish Conservative enterprise spokesman Murdo Fraser MSP said many firms could not afford to pay the living wage and more incentives should be offered to businesses.
"In principle, the Scottish Business Pledge sounds like a decent strategy," he said.
"However, scratch beneath the surface and it would be realistic to say that many small to medium-sized business cannot afford to pay staff the living wage. This is particularly the case in sectors like care where income levels are set by the state.
"The Scottish government should be helping these businesses where they can. That's why we're calling for a living wage business bonus for small businesses which pay the living wage, in the form of a reduction in their business rates."
The Scottish Greens welcomed the new pledge but urged the first minister to go further and address environmental standards and tax avoidance.
MSP Patrick Harvie MSP said: "Given the clear opportunity Scotland has to develop a low-carbon economy that respects our finite resources, and the urgent need to meet our failed climate targets, it's disappointing that the environmental impact of business is barely mentioned in this pledge scheme."
"Ministers are also missing the chance to make a strong statement that tax dodgers won't be tolerated. "


More than 60,000 people have signed a petition calling on Sheffield United not to re-employ disgraced footballer Ched Evans.

Evans, 25, was convicted of rape in April 2012 and jailed for five years. He is due to be released in October.
The Blades have refused to comment on a possible return for the striker they signed for Â£3m in 2009.
However, Alan Smith from the official Sheffield United supporters' club said: "I've been told he will be back."
He added: "I think that for most supporters it's good he's coming back because of what he did for us before. I think that he's served his time."
However, Nicky, who is among the signatories to the petition, told BBC Radio 5 live's Victoria Derbyshire: "I appreciate he's done his time in prison but there's an argument about rehabilitation and many of us who have signed the petition do not feel Ched has been rehabilitated."
She added: "He continues to protest his innocence and for him to walk back into a high-profile job where he's seen as a role model as if nothing has happened is just really appalling."
Nacro, the crime reduction charity, said gainful employment was critical in helping people put their criminal past behind them.
Graham Beech, director of strategic development at the charity, said: "It is the police, probation and other relevant agencies' responsibility to protect the public and it is the employer's responsibility to assess any risks that are involved in employing the individual. Both need to put appropriate safeguards in place.
"This includes the risk of harm to employees and the general public and any business and reputational risks to the employer no matter how high profile that job or that employment may be."
Evans, a Wales international, denied raping the 19-year-old woman in a hotel room in Rhyl, in north Wales, but was found guilty by a jury at Caernarfon Crown Court.
He has tried to have his conviction overturned and, in July, asked the Criminal Cases Review Commission to examine the case.
The footballer's girlfriend, Natasha Massey, told BBC Radio 5 live: "Ched will forever maintain his innocence and we will continue to appeal.
"Anyone who is released from prison, part of their rehabilitation is to return to work.
"Ched's work so happens to be a professional footballer so I think he should be allowed to return to his job.
"Ched would love to play for Sheffield again. He loved his time there."
Evans scored 42 goals in his 103 appearances for Sheffield United, who are among the favourites to gain promotion to the Championship this season.


Lee Selby's IBF featherweight world title defence against Jonathan Victor Barros has been called off, leaving the Welshman "almost in tears".

The decision was announced on stage before Friday's weigh-in in Las Vegas, just over 24 hours before the fight was meant to take place.
The Nevada Athletic Commission did not give an explanation other than the Argentine had not met its requirements.
"This was my big stage, my chance to shine," Selby, 29, said.
"But trust me, I will be back. I will come again," he added.
Selby's third defence of his IBF world title was meant to take place on the undercard of Northern Irishman Carl Frampton's WBA featherweight title bout with Mexico's Leo Santa Cruz at the MGM Grand.
Selby was aiming to then face the winner of Frampton's rematch with Santa Cruz. Frampton has said he is keen on the idea, adding he would like to take on the Welshman at Belfast's Windsor Park.
The abandonment of Selby's fight against Barros could hinder those plans, but the fighter from Barry still believes a unification with Frampton could be possible.
"Hopefully I can get straight back in the mix, get a quick win under my belt," Selby added.
"Then I would like to challenge the winner of Frampton-Santa Cruz."


A hospital in the US state of New Hampshire has been evacuated after operating room staff complained of nausea due to an "unknown odour".

Exeter Hospital cleared its emergency room on Friday morning out of an abundance of caution, spokeswoman Debra Vasapolli told local media.
About 17 members of staff were affected by the incident, including some who experienced dizziness, she added.
Fire and police officials were at the scene investigating the incident.
The operating and emergency rooms were closed during the evacuation, Ms Vasapolli said.
The incident began at about 09:00 (13:00 GMT) when four employees began complaining of headaches, dizziness and nausea, according to Dr Neil Meehan, the hospital's chief physician assistant.
An estimated 12 staff were transported to other hospitals while others were treated and released, Exeter Assistant Fire Chief Eric Wilking told the Union Leader newspaper.
"There are a number of issues. It could be outside air coming in as a contaminant. We're looking at cleaning fluids that could have been used in the hospital," he told the newspaper.
Tests for carbon monoxide were negative, Mr Wilking said.
No patients experienced any symptoms but six were transported from the emergency room, she added.
Fire department officials said they have found no liquid spills, leaks nor gas in the operating room, local media reported.
The emergency department and inpatient operation rooms remained closed, but other areas of the hospital were re-opened, according to Ms Vasapolli.


Sir Ian McKellen has said he was advised "not to go to Russia" by the Foreign Office because of the country's homosexuality laws.

"That's why I can't go... they couldn't protect me from those laws," Sir Ian, 74, told the Radio Times.
"Two and a half hours from London! In the land of Tchaikovsky, Diaghilev, Rudolf Nureyev - gay artists whose sexuality informed their work."
The actor came out as being gay at the age of 49.
Russia passed a law in June which can result in heavy fines for anyone providing information about homosexuality to people under 18.
Critics say its loose interpretation effectively hinders any kind of public gay rights event in Russia.
Sir Ian also hit back at comments made by Homeland star Damian Lewis in a Guardian interview earlier this year.
Lewis said he did not want to end up "as one of those slightly over-the-top, fruity actors who would have an illustrious career on stage, but wouldn't start getting any kind of film work until I was 50 and then start playing wizards".
While not naming names, the comments were widely thought to have been aimed at actors like Sir Ian, who played the wizard Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films, and Michael Gambon, who played Professor Dumbledore in the Harry Potter franchise.
Sir Ian told the magazine: "So he feels sorry for me, does he? Well, I'm very happy, he needn't worry about me", although he did agree Lewis's remark was "fair comment".
However, he went on to say: "To rebut it, I wouldn't like to have been one of those actors who hit stardom quite early on and expected it to continue and was stuck doing scripts that I didn't particularly like just to keep the income up.
"I've always wanted to get better as an actor. And I have got better. You've only got to see my early work to see that."
Regarding the "fruity voice" comment, Sir Ian said: "Well, it may be a voice that is trained like an opera singer's voice: to fill a large space. It is unnatural."
He added: "To be allowed for the first time in your later career to play leading parts in extremely popular movies is not a situation to worry about."
Sir Ian also admitted his performance in ITV show Vicious was "over the top" and he would tone it down for the second series.
He said he was over acting for the benefit of the live studio audience.


A statue of Amy Johnson, the first woman to fly solo from the UK to Australia, has been unveiled in Hull.

Actress Maureen Lipman unveiled the statue, built to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the pilot's death.
It also marks the end of the two-month Amy Johnson Festival in East Yorkshire in celebration of her life.
The sculpture is within a park in a new housing development near Hawthorne Avenue, close to Ms Johnson's childhood home.
The park is located on the site of the former Amy Johnson primary school.
Hull-born Ms Lipman said she was intrigued by Johnsons's story and had named her daughter after the pioneering pilot.
"I'm a daughter of Hull," she said.
"I wanted to celebrate the greatest export we ever had. I just think her story is so phenomenal".
Amy Johnson was born in St George's Road on 1 July 1903.
Her solo flight to Australia took 19 days and she landed in front of a huge crowd in Darwin on 24 May 1930.
The 37-year-old died during World War Two when the RAF plane she was transporting crashed in the Thames Estuary on 5 January 1941.
A second version of the statue is already installed at Herne Bay close to where she died, although her body has never been found.


Police watchdogs have said Tasers should only be used as a "last resort" near flammable substances.

It follows the death of a petrol-soaked man who burst into flames after he was shot by a Taser in Plymouth.
An inquest jury decided that the stun gun was the most likely cause of the fire which engulfed and killed him.
The IPCC recommended that the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) and the College of Policing (CoP) revise their Taser training.
Andrew Pimlott, 32, died five days after he was shot by a Taser in the back garden of his parents' home in Plymouth, Devon in April 2013.
Two officers went to the address after Mr Pimlott's father called 999 reporting his son was breaching a restraining order imposed by magistrates to stay away from the house.
After they arrived Mr Pimlott poured petrol over himself and lit a match.
PC Peter Hodgkinson fired a Taser at Mr Pimlott, telling the inquest he was trying to prevent Mr Pimlott from harming himself.
The IPCC said: "Tasers should only be considered for use in the presence of flammable substances as a last resort, and after every other available option has been considered and discounted."
Mr Pimlott's family said after the inquest they had concerns about the use of Tasers near flammable substances and "that the officers did not attempt to try to resolve the situation by communicating with Andrew instead".
In October prosecutors rejected a criminal prosecution for gross negligence manslaughter and misconduct for PC Hodgkinson.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) found there was a case to answer for gross misconduct, but in March an internal misconduct panel cleared the constable.


Michigan Governor Rick Snyder is testifying before Congress on the Flint water crisis, which has left residents without clean drinking water.

Lawmakers lambasted Mr Snyder for his handling of the crisis, which he has said was an administrative failure.
The US Environmental Protection Agency is also being blamed for not addressing the crisis quickly enough.
Pipes in Flint began leaching lead after the city switched its water supply to save money.
Mr Snyder has called the crisis "a massive error of bureaucracy" and rejected calls for him to resign, most notably from Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
He has said switching water suppliers, which happened when the city's finances were under state control, was not about saving money.
The water from Flint River stripped lead from the pipes and contaminated the supply. Lead exposure can cause learning disabilities and behavioural problems in children.
Flint is a majority-African American city where over 40% of the residents live in poverty.
The situation in Flint "really reeks of environmental discrimination", representative Robin Kelly said.
Another representative, Elijah Cummings, told Mr Snyder he was responsible for the contamination of the city's water supply and that he would likely be subject to criminal charges if he was running a business.
"The governor's fingerprints are all over this crisis," said Mr Cummings.
Multiple lawmakers called for him to resign at the hearing, at which Mr Snyder called the water crisis "a terrible tragedy" and "the humbling experience of [his] life".
Also appearing was Environmental Protection Agency director Gina McCarthy, who said the responsibility ultimately fell on Michigan state officials, and that they did not communicate the scope of the problem well enough.
But representative Jason Chaffetz told Ms McCarthy she should resign and that she and her agency "failed".
Ms McCarthy denied this, saying "the crisis we're seeing was the result of a state-appointed emergency manager deciding that the city would stop purchasing treated drinking water and instead switch to an untreated source to save money".
She admitted the EPA could have "pushed more" to check on the situation in Flint, but said the problem was not her agency's fault.
Mr Snyder has called on Congress to approve a bill $220 million (Â£152 million) bill to repair and replace the lead-contaminated pipes in Flint, along with other cities. The bill is currently on hold.


An investigation into sex abuse claims made against the former Speaker of the House of Commons Viscount Tonypandy has ended.

South Wales Police has confirmed that the matter is closed and that the three complainants have been told.
The force said it has informed Operation Hydrant, which oversees allegations of historical child sex abuse against high-profile people.
Lord Tonypandy, who was born in Port Talbot, died of cancer in 1997 aged 88.
Then known as George Thomas, he was a Labour MP in Cardiff from 1945 to 1983.
The methodist preacher was also Secretary of State for Wales from 1968 to 1970 and was Commons Speaker between 1976 and 1983.
Allegations of historical child sexual abuse were made against him four years ago.
A man, now in his fifties, living in Australia, alleged that Lord Tonypandy had sexually assaulted him in Cardiff when he was nine years old while he was staying at the boy's parents home in the 1960s and 1970s.
Other allegations against him included that he sexually assaulted a 16 or 17-year-old boy on a train between Newport and London in the 1960s.
There were also claims he inappropriately touched someone on a train from London to Aberystwyth in 1959.
On Wednesday, South Wales Police said its investigation has come to an end and that no further action would be taken.
"These allegations have been investigated proportionately by South Wales Police in line with national guidance," it said in a statement.
"The force takes all allegations of sexual abuse seriously no matter when the alleged offence took place and encourages any victims of sexual abuse to come forward, in the knowledge that they will be listened to and their allegations taken seriously."
Friends and people who knew Lord Tonypandy have previously said they found the allegations difficult to believe.


William Dunlop clinched a double success at the Tandragee 100 meeting, winning the feature Superbike race and the Supersport 600cc event.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Ryan Farquhar took victory in the Open race, run on Friday night, the classic race and the Moto 450 outing.
William produced a dominant ride in the main event of the meeting, taking the chequered flag by 28 seconds from runner-up Jamie Hamilton.
Mullingar's Derek McGee was third on the Wilson Craig 600cc Honda.
Earlier, William followed up his double win in the 600cc category at Cookstown by winning the Supersport class from McGee and Hamilton in difficult conditions.
Weather conditions were better on Friday evening when Farquhar won a thrilling Open race by 0.4 seconds from Tyco BMW pilot Dunlop.
Early leader Hamilton, from Ballyclare, completed the podium positions.
McGee took the flag in the Supertwins class, seeing off the challenge of Hamilton.
Jeremy McWilliams, making his debut over the 5.3-mile circuit, was third in the Classic race.


At least 14 patients and three doctors have been killed in an air strike on a hospital in the Syrian city of Aleppo, the charity Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF) says.

Among those killed in the MSF-supported al-Quds hospital was one of the city's last paediatricians, MSF said.
Local sources have blamed the Syrian government or Russian war planes, but there has been no official comment.
Monitors say attacks by both sides left 34 dead and dozens wounded on Thursday.
Violence in Syria has intensified in recent days, despite a partial truce.
The upsurge in violence comes amid reports that the Syrian army, backed by Russian air power, is gearing up for a major offensive in Aleppo.
The escalation has threatened to derail the UN-brokered peace talks, which resumed last month.
On Wednesday, the UN envoy to Syria urged the US and Russia to intervene "at the highest level" to save the talks.
"MSF-supported hospital in Aleppo destroyed, at least 14 patients and staff killed, toll expected to rise," MSF tweeted on Thursday.
It said that the hospital was well known locally and had been hit by a direct air strike on Wednesday.
"We condemn the destruction of the al-Quds hospital, depriving people of essential healthcare," the charity added.
An activist at the scene, named as Zuhair, told the BBC that buildings around the hospital were also hit.
"It was an air strike by two rockets, heavy rockets from [a] Russian air strike," he said.
"Near the hospital one building on five floors just crumbled and just crashed down and we don't know how many dead will be under these ruins."
The civil defence agency, which is staffed by volunteers, said the hospital and surrounding buildings were hit by four consecutive air strikes.
Rami Abdurahman, head of the monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, named the paediatrician killed as Mohammed Wasim Moaz, 36.
He told the BBC that Mr Moaz was the last paediatrician in the rebel-held part of Aleppo and another was to be sent on Thursday to take his place.
The Observatory said rebel rocket fire on government-held areas on Thursday had killed 14 civilians while attacks by pro-government forces on rebel neighbourhoods had killed at least 20 people.
The two-month-old "cessation of hostilities", which brought at least a relative lull to some parts of Syria, is indeed "hanging by a thread" as the UN mediator Staffan de Mistura put it.
One of the reasons why it is now at death's door was reflected in the fact that from the outset it was not called a ceasefire or even a truce, because several factions were excluded, including not just the Islamic State militants but also the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front.
Nusra fighters are present in almost all combat zones, and are mixed up with other groups such as Ahrar al-Sham that Russia is now pressing to have added to the international terror list.
That has meant that hostilities have continued and intensified in many areas, with the government able to claim its attacks are legitimate.
Now state forces are reported to be building up in Aleppo as violence escalates there, raising fears that a long and costly all-out battle for the contested city may be looming.
That would put paid both to the lull and to the Geneva peace talks, prompting the UN envoy to urge the US, Russians and others to press their clients on the ground to ease off, so that stalled negotiations have a chance of resuming.
Syrian state news made no mention of the hospital attack but also said that rebel shelling had killed at least 14 civilians in government-held areas in the north of the city.
Over the past week, more than 100 civilians have been killed in renewed bombardment by both rebel and government forces in Syria's largest city, according to the UK-based Observatory.
Speaking on Wednesday after briefing the UN Security Council on the peace process, the envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura, warned that the fragile cessation of hostilities agreed in February could collapse "at any time".
He said that over the past 48 hours an average of one Syrian had been killed every 25 minutes and one wounded every 13 minutes.
For the peace talks in Geneva to succeed, he added, hostilities would need to be reduced to the levels immediately following the February agreement.
Calling on the US and Russia to co-operate, Mr de Mistura said the legacies of both President Barack Obama and President Vladimir Putin were linked to the success of the peace process in Syria.
More than 270,000 people have been killed since Syria's bitter civil war conflict erupted in 2011 and millions have been forced to flee.


Manoel de Oliveira, the Portuguese film director who made his first film in 1931 and continued making films up to last year, has died in Porto aged 106.

Believed to be the world's oldest film-maker, he made more than 50 films and competed for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival on five occasions.
The festival gave him an honorary Palme for "blending aesthetic contemplation and technological innovations" in 2008.
Gebo and the Shadow, his last feature, was released in 2012.
Born in 1908 in Porto in to a family of wealthy industrialists, Manoel Candido Pinto de Oliveira originally trained as an actor
He made his directing debut in 1931 with a silent documentary short about river workers in his home city and made his first feature in 1942.
His credits were sporadic under Antonio Salazar's dictatorship. From 1981 onwards, though, he roughly directed a film a year.
His prolific work rate saw him become a regular at Europe's leading film festivals and be embraced by cineastes, particularly in France.
The Convent (1995), one of his better-known films, starred John Malkovich as an American professor determined to prove that Shakespeare was Spanish.
Malkovich and his co-star, Catherine Deneuve, would work with de Oliveira again on 2001's I'm Going Home and 2003's A Talking Picture.
The director's other films included Belle Toujours, a 2006 follow-up to Luis Bunuel's Belle de Jour that caught up with its prostitute heroine.
His later work often dealt with melancholy bourgeois characters and had a stylistic formality that involved long takes and static camerawork.
"I think of film as a synthesis of all art forms," he once wrote. "I try to balance the four fundamental pillars of film: image, word, sound and music."
The director left instructions that Memories and Confessions, a 1982 film about a house in which he used to live, only be released after his death.


A disgruntled Kenyan policeman who shot dead six of his colleagues has been killed in a shootout after an eight-hour siege.

He began his shooting spree at 05:20 local time (04:20 GMT) at a police station in north-western Kenya.
Earlier, Kenya's police chief had said the gunman was a suspected recruiter for al-Shabab Islamist militants.
An officer who was part of a police special unit sent to retake the station in Kapenguria town was also killed.
A police source has told the BBC that the gunman was unhappy that his request to resign from the police had been denied as he had not served the requisite 10 years of service after his graduation in 2013.


At least 367 people have been killed and some 1,300 injured by a magnitude 6.1 earthquake in south-west China, state news agency Xinhua says.

The US Geological Survey said the quake struck about 11km (seven miles) north-west of Wenping in Yunnan province at 16:30 local time (08:30 GMT).
A major rescue and relief operation is under way.
State broadcaster CCTV said the earthquake was the strongest to hit the province in 14 years.
The USGS said the quake struck at a depth of about 10km in a remote mountainous area in Yunnan province.
The tremor was also felt in the neighbouring provinces of Guizhou and Sichuan.
Xinhua said about 12,000 homes had collapsed in Ludian, a county of some 439,000 people, north-east of Yunnan province's capital, Kunming.
All of the casualties reported so far are in Qiaojia County of the Zhaotong region, which appeared to be the hardest hit.
Ma Liya, a resident of Zhaotong, told Xinhua that the streets there were like "battlefield after bombardment", adding her neighbour's house, a new two-storey building, had collapsed.
The government is sending 2,000 tents, 3,000 folding beds, 3,000 quilts and 3,000 coats to the disaster zone, the report said.
After initial reports of a death toll of 26, the numbers of casualties rose sharply, passing 150 before Xinhua reported a figure of 367 killed.
The news agency says the epicentre of the earthquake was in Longtoushan in Yunnan's Ludian county.
Chen Guoyong, the head of Longtoushan township, told Xinhua that many houses had fallen and rescuers had been sent to the epicentre.
Many people rushed out of buildings onto the street after the quake hit, electricity supplies were cut and at least one school collapsed, Xinhua reports.
Communications have also been seriously affected.
South-west China lies in an area that is prone to earthquakes.
An earthquake in Sichuan in 2008 killed tens of thousands of people.
And in 1970, a magnitude 7.7 quake in Yunnan killed at least 15,000 people.


Rio Ferdinand will be part of the BBC's team at Euro 2016 in France.

The former England captain was on the 2014 World Cup panel and will provide analysis and insight alongside Thierry Henry, Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer.
Ferdinand won 81 caps, plus six Premier League titles with Manchester United.
He said: "I'm really excited to be part of the BBC's coverage of the Euros. I'm looking forward to sharing my experience and bringing my thoughts and analysis into playing at this level."
BBC Sport will broadcast 26 games during Euro 2016, including the standout fixture of the group stages as England face Wales on Thursday, 16 June.
The BBC's Head of TV Sport, Philip Bernie, said: "We're delighted that Rio is returning to the BBC to be part of our team in Paris. His knowledge and experience of the game at international level is going to bring a real insight to our coverage.
"The BBC prides itself on delivering the best names and first-class coverage on football's biggest stage, and Rio, alongside a stellar cast of presenters and pundits, will play a key part in our extensive coverage from France."


The former head of the National Crime Squad (NCS) and the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) has been appointed chairman of UK Anti-Doping.

Trevor Pearce was director general of the NCS between 2004 and 2006, then spent three years with Soca from 2010.
He replaces David Kenworthy, whose four-year term has ended.
"Trevor brings a wealth of experience in investigations and intelligence," said secretary of state for culture, media and sport, Karen Bradley.


Defence Secretary Michael Fallon was asked on the Andrew Marr Show about the Conservative Party's manifesto pledge on army numbers from the 2015 election.

The claim: The Conservatives pledged to build up the size of the army to 82,000 by 2020.
Reality Check verdict: The actual manifesto pledge was to not let the size of the army fall below 82,000. It currently stands at nearly 78,500 so that pledge has been broken.
"We said we would build the army up to 82,000 by the year 2020," he replied, adding that the number was currently just over 79,000 but pointing out that it was not yet 2020.
But Mr Fallon was mistaken about what his party had promised to do two years ago.
The actual pledge from the manifesto was: "We will maintain the size of the regular armed services and not reduce the army to below 82,000."
The Ministry of Defence publishes monthly figures for the size of the armed forces, the most recent of which are for March this year.
They show that in May 2015, at the time of the last election, the number of full-time, trained staff in the army was 81,935, having dropped from 98,418 in the previous three years.
It has fallen gradually in the two years since then, so that it now stands at 78,432.

Approximately 614,000 Facebook users whose personal details appeared in ads on the site without their permission will each receive a $15 (£9.65) payout.

The names and pictures of an estimated 150 million Facebook members were used in Sponsored Stories, but only those who responded to an email from the site earlier this year will be compensated.
Privacy organisations will also receive some of the $20m (£12.9m) settlement.
Facebook said it was "pleased" the settlement had been approved.
The payout was approved by a US court on Monday following a class action filed against Facebook in 2011 by five of its users.
The group said their details had been used to promote products and services through the site's Sponsored Stories programme, without paying them or giving them the choice to opt-out.
A Sponsored Story is a tailored advertisement that appears on members' Facebook pages, highlighting products a user's friends have endorsed or "liked" on the site.
US District Judge Richard Seeborg acknowledged that the $15 payments were relatively small, but said it had not been established that Facebook had "undisputedly violated the law".
He added that the claimants could not prove they were "harmed in any meaningful way".
The court estimated that Facebook had made about $73m (£47m) in profit from the Sponsored Stories featuring details of the 150 million members.
The settlement also requires Facebook to make changes to its "Statement of Rights" and to give users more information and control over how their details are used in the future.
This move was estimated by the plaintiff's lawyers to cost Facebook $145m in advertising revenue.
Approximately 7,000 Facebook users opted out of the settlement altogether, allowing them to bring their own legal action against the social network.
A Facebook spokesperson said: "We are pleased that the settlement has received final approval."


A woman thought to have been murdered at a house in Bristol has been named by police.

The body of Karina Batista, 40, was discovered at a property in Kensington Park, Easton at about 10:20 GMT on Monday.
Murder detectives are asking for information to trace the movements of a red Peugeot 107.
A 36-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody.
A post-mortem examination found Ms Batista died from multiple injuries to the upper body.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: "As part of our investigation we're keen to hear from anyone who saw the red Peugeot 107 between 3.15am and 6am on Monday.
"We believe the car, which has a hubcap missing from the front left wheel, was in the Keynsham area at the time."


A "number of knives" were found at the scene where a man was shot by police, investigators have said.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said the man, named as Josh Pitt from Leighton Buzzard, died from a single gunshot wound.
He was fatally injured after police attended a property in Hibbert Street, Luton, at 14:00 GMT on 9 November.
The IPCC said body-worn video footage from some of the officers will be analysed as investigations continue.

It said a forensic examination of the scene took place and a "a number of knives" were recovered.
A post-mortem examination on Friday gave the provisional cause of death as a gunshot wound to the chest, the IPCC said.
Mr Pitt was described by Bedfordshire Police as white and British.
He was initially treated at the scene by officers and paramedics but died at hospital at 14:50 GMT.
IPCC Commissioner Mary Cunneen said: "My thoughts and sympathies are with the family and friends of Josh and all of those affected by this fatal shooting.
"Our investigation will look at the circumstances surrounding the incident and the actions of the officers involved.
"We have spoken to Josh's next of kin to inform them of our role and will be keeping them updated.
"I ask anybody who may have seen or heard anything in the Hibbert Street area on Wednesday afternoon, which may be useful to our investigation, to contact us."


The Bank of England's Financial Policy Committee says that the outlook for financial stability has deteriorated since November.

The committee said "the most significant" domestic risks to financial stability were connected to the referendum on EU membership.
It referred to risks of a period of "heightened and prolonged uncertainty".
It doesn't say explicitly that it has in mind the period after a vote in favour of leaving the EU.
But that is the most likely scenario the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) is referring too.
The result of that uncertainty, the committee judges, could "affect the cost and availability of financing for a broad range of UK borrowers".
These pressures could, the FPC says, reinforce existing vulnerabilities.
The current account deficit, which measures the UK's trade performance, remains high and it needs to be financed by foreign investment.
Those flows have contributed to meeting the borrowing needs of the government and business, the statement says.
The Bank also says a decision to withdraw "could spill over to the euro area", affecting financial markets and economic growth there.
It also notes that sterling could be forced lower, though that has potential benefits - making British industry more competitive and raising the cost of imports, which would arguably be welcome at a time when inflation is well below the Bank's target.
The Conservative MP John Redwood, who wants the UK to leave the EU, disputed the committee's assessment when he spoke to the World at One on BBC Radio.
He said: "International investors have been quite relaxed about the possibility of Brexit. At a time when the polls have been strengthening for Brexit, and we have been getting nearer to the vote, interest rates have come down a little bit and we have seen a lot of inward investment.
"Indeed we see the Germans trying to buy our stock exchange."


Derby County midfielder Will Hughes has returned to full training after seven months out with a knee injury.

The 20-year-old suffered anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the opening game of the Championship season against Bolton in August.
Head coach Darren Wassall told BBC Radio Derby: "He had an hour session and came through with flying colours.
"He joined in the whole session and he looks in fine fettle. He had a big smile on his face all day."
Wassall said taking part in the session was a "big moment" for England Under-21 star Hughes.
"He completed everything," Wassall added. "And for a player to end with a small-sided game and contact when you have been out of for six or seven months is a huge relief.
"With Will, we have a duty of care as a club to look after him. We certainly can't rush him, but the rehabilitation has been excellent. Hopefully he is through the worst of it now."


A founder member of the Isle of Man's Parkinson's Disease Society is one of three Manx residents recognised in the 2014 Queen's Birthday Honours list.

Pamela Shimwell-Mayo, receives an MBE for services to Parkinson's and said she was "incredibly emotional".
Financial expert Tim Cullen, 70, also receives an MBE for services to International Financial Management.
Meanwhile, Judy Arnold, 67, has been awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) for services to Cruse Bereavement Care.
Mrs Shimwell-Mayo, whose late husband suffered with the disease for 30 years, has campaigned to raise awareness since 1989.
The Isle of Man Parkinson's Disease Society Chairman said: "I am in shock. My husband Derek and my mother would have been so proud.
"I can't wait to tell my daughters the news."
Mr Cullen conceived and established the Small Countries' Financial Management Centre (SCFMC) in 2009.
The initiative helps equip government officials from smaller developing countries with skills in financial regulation, public sector management, leadership and negotiation.
The 70-year-old, who spent 21 years with the World Bank, said: "It has been enormously satisfying and we have achieved remarkable things on a shoestring budget.
"I am absolutely delighted to be honoured, this programme has made a real difference."
Since its formation the SCFMC has helped more than 100 people from about 30 countries.
Mrs Arnold founded Cruse Bereavement Care in a friend's front room and has gone on to help hundreds of people.
She said: "It is wonderful and completely out of the blue. This is testament to the organisation itself and all the people we have helped."


A UK ticketholder who won a £34m jackpot in Friday's Euromillions draw has come forward to claim the prize.

National Lottery operator Camelot said that, subject to validation, the prize could be paid out on Monday.
It was the eighth ticket in the UK to take the top Euromillions prize so far this year and the fourth this month.
A £19.7m jackpot was shared by three tickets from the UK on 2 September. Friday's winning numbers were 5, 8, 14, 22, 32, and Lucky Stars 2 and 11.
When jackpots are paid, winners can decide whether to reveal their identities or stay anonymous.
A family syndicate from Monmouthshire won more than £61m in the Euromillions jackpot in August.
UK ticketholders also won jackpots of £24.6m and £24m in February this year, and £51.8m in April.
The biggest lottery prize in UK history is the £161m Euromillions jackpot won by North Ayrshire couple Chris and Colin Weir in 2011.
Tickets for Euromillions are sold in nine countries - the UK, Austria, Belgium, France, the Irish Republic,  Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland - with ticket-holders in all each country trying to win a share of the same jackpot.


Braintree boosted their play-off hopes with a narrow victory over Grimsby at Blundell Park.

Substitute Taylor Miles struck with 13 minutes remaining, cutting in from the right and firing home.
Grimsby striker Nathan Arnold's late free-kick was well saved by Tom King before Richard Tait hit the crossbar with the rebound.
The hosts remain fourth, four points above the visitors, and have won just once in their last five league games.
Meanwhile, the Iron moved level on points with Tranmere, in the last National League play-off place, but have an inferior goal difference with just three games of the season left.

Grimsby Town manager Paul Hurst told BBC Radio Humberside: "Braintree came to frustrate us and they did that.
"We lost the game and it was a bad goal on our part. We were looking to see the ball out in desperation to try to launch an attack ourselves, rather than just dealing with the ball and the lad finished it well.
"We found it difficult to create chances against what we knew beforehand. They're a very organised team that have frustrated a lot of teams this season and we're just the latest."


The Oil and Gas Authority has awarded a raft of new licences to explore for oil and gas on the mainland of the UK.

The 93 licences to explore 159 blocks of land could pave the way for more controversial hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
Parts of the Yorkshire, the Midlands, and the North West have been opened for exploration.
There are also licence blocks in the South of England and Wales.
Around 75% of the exploration licences relate to "unconventional" shale oil and gas, which typically requires fracking.
Today's licences give rights to companies to explore for shale oil and gas, but do not give automatic permission to drill.
Planning permission to build rigs and drill land needs clearance from local or central authorities.
Earlier this year, councillors in Lancashire rejected shale gas firm Cuadrilla's application to drill a handful of shale gas exploratory wells.
There would be too much noise and the impact on the landscape would be too great, they said.
But the final decision will be made by central government.


Health officials say tests show an outbreak of E.coli 0157 that affected two children matches samples from animals at a Powys petting farm.

The children, one from Ceredigion and one from Kent, visited Cantref Adventure Farm in Brecon in September and are both recovering at home.
Three family members of the infected children have also tested positive.
The farm was advised to continue to stop direct contact between animals and the public.
Public Health Wales, the Health Protection Agency and three local authorities have been investigating since September, and the source of the infection is still being sought.
Of the three family members who tested positive for the infection, one is believed to have contracted the illness at the same time, but does not have symptoms.
The other two became ill at a later date and are believed to have contracted the illness through contact with the child.
Investigators are working with the farm owners to identify any further measures necessary.
E.coli O157 can cause severe diarrhoea, abdominal cramps and fever, and can cause fatal kidney failure in children.
Dr Mac Walapu, consultant in communicable disease control for Public Health Wales, said: "It is difficult to say whether we will see further cases of E.coli O157 linked to the farm, but if anyone who has visited the farm since the beginning of August has symptoms, they should still contact their GP as soon as possible.
"The infection can pass from person to person and so it is important that anyone who is ill should observe strict personal hygiene to avoid spreading the infection.
"We are therefore urging everyone to wash and dry their hands thoroughly after going to the toilet, after handling animals and before preparing or eating food.
"Parents should supervise young children whilst washing their hands.
"Disinfecting all areas of the bathroom regularly, including hard surfaces and toilet and door handles, can also help limit the risk of further infection.
"Anyone who is unwell with E.coli O157 should stay away from school, nursery or work while they have symptoms and until they are advised that they are well enough to return."
Health officials say it is not uncommon for outbreaks of E.coli O157 to be associated with children having contact with farm animals.


A cloud looking like a map of Great Britain has been spotted.

Huddersfield photographer Golcar Matt snapped the cloud in the East Midlands and submitted it to the BBC Weather Watchers website.
BBC Weather presenter Alina Jenkins said it was a common cumulus cloud, which can often be seen forming shapes in the sky.
"They're formed by the sun heating the air at the surface," she said.
"The air then rises and as it does it cools and condenses to create the "cotton wool" type clouds which often take on interesting shapes.
More breaking stories from BBC Yorkshire
"How many times have you thought one looks like an elephant or a train for example?"
She added: "It would have been quite a bit larger earlier in the afternoon but once we started to lose some of the daytime heating it began to break up and for a short time looked like a map of the UK."
Commenting on the photograph on Facebook, Andrew Yeung said:  "This is how Hard Brexit will look," while Dru Lawson said: "Leaked pics of the UK doing a Brexit."
Christopher Broadbent said:  "I know what it's meant to look like but all I can see is the ghost in the original Ghostbuster film in the opening library scene."
The photograph follows other recent interesting captures of our skies, including one of a cloud shaped like Concorde and a rare lunar rainbow, called a moonbow.


Former Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith is urging Theresa May to reverse cuts to Universal Credit.

Mr Duncan Smith, who quit days after the 2016 Budget, is urging the PM to postpone a plan to raise the income tax threshold to fund the move.
In 2015, cuts to the Universal Credit "work allowance" were announced - reducing the amount people could earn before benefit payments were withdrawn.
A government spokesperson said there were "no plans" to reverse the cuts.
Universal Credit's single payment replaces six current benefits, including Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) and Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).
Mr Duncan Smith drove its introduction under the coalition government, although it was beset by delays, IT problems and an entire "reset" of the system, and was the subject of tensions between the Treasury and the DWP.
He argues the cuts to work allowance cost people up to Â£1,000 as they move off benefits into work.
Now a backbencher, he chairs the Centre for Social Justice which is making the call to reverse the cuts made by former chancellor George Osborne - who was sacked by Mrs May when she became prime minister in July.
The CSJ is pointing to Mrs May's own words in her first speech as PM, in which she promised those who were "just managing" that "when it comes to taxes, we'll prioritise not the wealthy, but you".
Mr Duncan Smith argued that higher earners would benefit most from raising the income tax threshold - something the government has pledged to do by 2020 - and said the money should be spent on those who were "just about managing" instead.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, the former minister said: "One of the key elements as you cross into work, the work allowances, those were all reduced. The problem with that is it means it is more difficult to get people into work and keep them in work.
"We want to get people into work, we want them to progress through work, but most importantly, we want to make sure work always pays."
He said raising the tax threshold for everyone would mean about 25p in every pound would end up with the lowest paid, while reversing the Universal Credit cuts was "a more direct way of delivering on Theresa May's statement, which was strong and powerful, to help those who try".
The CSJ argues that Â£3.4bn cut from the Universal Credit budget by Mr Osborne would cost people up to Â£1,000 as they "transitioned" from Universal Credit into work, thereby undermining incentives to take a job and move off benefits.
The government says Universal Credit work allowances have been simplified and people are getting extra help to move into work, as well as benefitting from increased tax allowances, childcare support and the National Living Wage.
A spokesman for the DWP said: "There are no plans to revisit the work allowance changes announced in the budget last year.
"Universal Credit is transforming lives with claimants moving into work faster and staying in work longer than under the old system."
Mr Duncan Smith also defended his work at the DWP, following the new film by Ken Loach, 'I, Daniel Blake', which tells the story of a joiner in north east England on benefits.
Mr Loach appeared on BBC's Question Time on Thursday, criticising the system that tells "the most vulnerable people" that their poverty "is their own fault."
Mr Duncan Smith said he had "high regard" for Mr Loach but added: "Whilst on the one level this was a human story, full of pathos and difficulties, I think is the film has taken the very worst of anything that can ever happen to anybody and said 'this is life how it is lived'. I don't believe that
"Also, his portrayal of job centre staff was unfair. Yes, you will always get one of two, but the vast, vast, vast majority are there to work and help people. This idea that everybody is out to crunch you has really hurt a lot of job centre staff."


An effigy of David Cameron has been burnt at one of the UK's biggest Bonfire Night events.

The giant sculpture depicted a scantily-clad prime minister sitting on a throne with a pig's head on his lap.
Thousands of people gathered at the annual event in Lewes, which traditionally features near-the-knuckle satirical creations poking fun at famous or controversial figures.
More than 30 different processions made their way through the East Sussex town.
Last year, Lewes, torched figures including Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Effigies this year included former BBC Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson.
A 50ft (15m) Guy Fawkes effigy was also torched in an bid to set a record for the tallest Guy.
Lewes Borough Bonfire Society, one of six societies involved in the event, boasted it had built a one-of-a-kind landmark which would illuminate the sky.
Chairman Jason Winter said of the 50ft Guy: "This is the biggest one we've ever done. I think it's the biggest one that anyone's ever done."
Jim Etherington, from Cliffe Bonfire Society, said people described the famous Sussex event as anarchic, but that was "romanticising it".
"It's incredibly well-organised with due care for safety," he said.
"The days when fireworks were thrown and barrels rolled down through the town are long gone."
Michael Symes, from Lewes Bonfire Society, said the town would "be alight from one end to another".
The Lewes bonfire isn't for the faint-hearted.
Standing at the front as the men, women and children of the various societies march by, banging drums and carrying flaming torches, you are inches away from fire, showered with burning cinders, while ear-splitting bangers are let off randomly, just feet away from where you are standing.
To a newcomer, this sensory feast feels like a once-in-a-lifetime bucket-list experience, yet for the people of Lewes the loud and colourful celebration is an annual experience and has been for more than 100 years.
The town began to pulsate with explosions as the night reached its climax and the effigies - this year including David Cameron, Sepp Blatter and Jeremy Clarkson - were each "blown up", to shouts of "burn him, burn him", from the crowds.
It may take some time to process the night, and I'm expecting some vivid dreams.
Sussex Police assistant chief constable Robin Smith said the priority was safety.
Alcohol also caused problems and about 50 injuries last year were related to drink, he added.
6 bonfire societies  take part in celebrations on 5 November
4,450  people will join the procession through Lewes
30,000  spectators could attend on Thursday evening
26,000 torches will be burned
BBC reporter Charlie Rose tweeted that the centre of Lewes was packed with onlookers enjoying the spectacle of the parades, and there was no room to move on the pavements.
The celebrations in Lewes are one of the UK's biggest annual bonfire events.
A model of Pope Paul V - Pontiff at the time of the Gunpowder Plot - is burned every year to remember 17 Protestant martyrs burned at the stake in the town during the 16th Century.
Fifa president Sepp Blatter has already been named as the target of a Kent society's celebrations - but BBC reporter Nathalie Edell also saw him make an appearance in Lewes before the evening parades got under way.
She tweeted: "Well there's a sight for sore eyes... A Blatter effigy makes its way through Lewes this morning #lewesbonfire"
