Highlights from New Year’s Eve celebrations across the world

Celebrations around the world welcomed in 2025 in style.

The London Eye and Big Ben acted as the perfect backdrop for the annual festivities with the skyline lit up as joyous crowds cheered along.

In Australia, a million revellers flocked to Sydney Harbour to watch a 12-minute explosion of colour as 53,500 pyrotechnics erupted over the famous Opera House.

Pop superstar Robbie Williams led the crowds there in a mass singalong before the clock struck 12.

I was only interested in the Big Ben chimes at midnight. It’s the most unique and iconic highlight of the New Year, making London’s fireworks stand out. While fireworks are similar everywhere, Big Ben adds a distinctive touch.

Damascus gave me the most joy. It wasn't the most extravagant but for the first time in decades Syrians had a proper New Year celebration!

Rio, Sydney and London, for me it is among the best cerebrations, the one in New York (Times Square) is "an energy of peculiar emotion" 😅
