"Sydney's 2024 Spectacular Welcomes Millions to London's Firework Show"

Sydney has kicked off the 2024 New Year celebrations with a grand fireworks display over its Harbour, followed by Auckland, New Zealand. Around the world, millions are preparing to celebrate, with London expecting tens of thousands to watch the fireworks live, despite bad weather forecasts. The BBC will broadcast the UK's largest firework display, and last year's tribute included drones forming an image of Queen Elizabeth II. Celebrations are happening globally, with various cultural events marking the occasion. The last place to welcome 2024 will be Baker Island in the central Pacific Ocean.
