It was nearly 500,000 to last years event!
According to the article on the BBC News its been done in part due to the strain put upon the transport network and emergency services. So when you look at that limiting the event to 100,000 is a great idea.

A spokesman said last year's display had put "enormous strain on transport and safety infrastructure", and after consulting emergency services and Transport for London the event in its current form was found to be "untenable".
