New Year's Eve celebrations and fireworks around the world are ringing in 2025, as more than a million revelers are crowded into New York City's Times Square for performances and the traditional midnight ball drop.

London brought in the New Year with a fireworks display over the River Thames, as the iconic Big Ben struck midnight.

London's New Year's Eve fireworks event is set to go ahead at midnight despite concerns about high winds, a London mayor spokesperson said. They said ticketholders for the event and the "many millions watching around the world" were set for "a spectacular night of fireworks from the banks of the Thames to welcome in the new year".

London's New Year's Eve celebrations hang in the balance as city officials closely monitor weather conditions, following the cancellation of major festivities across the UK. Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations and Blackpool's fireworks display have already been called off due to severe weather warnings.
