"It’s like a TV show, like with Big Ben and every building is beautiful. And also, we can see the London Eye and many Brits are here. So that’s why I came here.

STORYLINE:
London rang in the New Year with a pyrotechnic display along the River Thames, as Big Ben struck midnight.
Visitors came from all over the world to watch the show.
"Last year we decided to come here for next year and we are here finally. We want to see fireworks and we want to enjoy," said Ahmed, a Turk living in Dublin.
With a storm bringing bitter weather to other parts of the United Kingdom, festivities in Edinburgh, Scotland, and some other venues were canceled.
The London celebration joined communities around the world as they welcomed 2025 with spectacular light shows, embraces and ice plunges.
Countries in the South Pacific Ocean were the first to ring in the New Year, with midnight in New Zealand striking 18 hours before the ball drop in Times Square in New York.
Conflict muted acknowledgements of the start of 2025 in places like the Middle East, Sudan and Ukraine.
