Found this on a spoilery website;

Now somewhere — and this is DEFINITELY A SPOILER ALERT — in one of the quips by someone watching the filming I read that a crew member was being very loose-lips about the scene and the script and said that “John Watson is in the middle” of the bonfire. (Yes, I’ve looked at the various pics of the bonfire which can be found here in the Daily Mail coverage.) Now if you really, really, really want spoilers, here’s a link to someone who was at the Sherlock Season 3 shoot (and got, along with other Sherlock fans present, to be an extra. Lucky girl!) She confirms that a stunt double for Martin Freeman was taken from inside the bonfire and laid out on the grass where he apparently was then replaced by Martin Freeman. John Watson appeared to be injured with blood running down his face. 

John...
 

Yup- which is why he's beat up during the press conference later (see cuts around sideburns):

In case you were wondering, I saved pictures and videos which I thought were important, which is why I have them at hand ;)

And here's what happens before John is put in the bonfire:

Sherlock will get him!

Thank goodness!

Ha ha, told you the mustache goes away pretty quickly ;)

Swanpride, no, I don't seem to have those videos (I remember there were some on tumblr at the time).  There are pictures:

However, for those who haven't seen it and want to- here's what happens after the 'reunion' scene:

I saw it before but it makes me sad every time.

At least we know it all works out, because of what happens in the second episode!

You mean the "you were the best man and the most human human being" clip, right?
