Happy New Year! London celebrates European ties with spectacular fireworks display as world welcomes 2019 The Independent More than 100,000 spectators gathered in London on Monday evening to watch Europe's largest annual firework display as the world welcomed the new year with a series of spectacular celebrations. With less than three months until Britain leaves the EU, London mayor Sadiq Khan said the display showed Europe that the capital will remain "open-minded" and "outward looking" post-Brexit. Big Ben returned to action to kick off the sold-out show - Europe's largest annual firework display - after a year of renovation works. As London's landmark clock tower chimed, 70,000 projectiles made up of 12,000 fireworks lit up the sky above the capital in an occasion Mr Khan hoped would "send a message of support" to the more than one million European citizens who call the city their home. The words "London is open" were spoken in seven languages as the capital welcomed in 2019 with a dazzling riverside fireworks display. Mr Khan spoke the adage in English around two minutes into the new year, which was then uttered in Spanish, Polish, French, Romanian, German and Italian. We Are Your Friends, Stay and Don't Leave Me Alone were some of the songs chosen for the 11-minute soundtrack, which featured artists from Ireland, France, Sweden and elsewhere. |

Don't get all this staged Nye "celebrations" . . Fireworks etc.
Never used to be like this.. New York in a couple of hours... same old.. same old.... All a bit silly really. Imo What I did notice, in London after the fireworks (when did they decide we all wanted fireworks on Nye) they played Auld Lang Syne, and apart from a few Brits linking arms and jumping up and down, 90% of the crowd just stood there. Probably "visitors" |

We should have fireworks countrywide at 11pm on Friday, 29 March 2019. Songs to accompany the fireworks could include Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye and We gotta get out of this place.
