Britain welcomed in the New Year as thousands of people gathered on the banks of the River Thames to watch a spectacular fireworks display.
Many revellers braved the intermittent spells of rain last night ahead of the midnight display featuring around 12,000 fireworks.
The night sky was lit up for around 11 minutes, offering stunning sights of landmarks including the London Eye and Big Ben (pictured).
Earlier, other global cities beckoned in the New Year, including Dubai, where celebrations were tempered by a blaze in one of its tallest buildings.
In Moscow, the arrival of the New Year was greeted by silence - as the firework display was five minutes late
