New Year 2012: London Fireworks Display

London's new year fireworks dazzled their way into 2012 in an "awesome" display that has been widely hailed by both the media and public as a stunning success.

It was the 11-minute fireworks spectacular that wowed the world. More than 250,000 revellers watched the breathtaking display, of more than 12,000 fireworks producing 50,000 projectiles lit up the sky which cost £274,000 and demonstrated that London is the best in the world at putting on a show to celebrate the New Year.

An estimated 2 billion people around the world are expected to watch live as England's Prince William marries commoner Kate Middleton this Friday at Westminster Abbey. Tourists have flocked to London, decorations are appearing, commemorative memorabilia are for sale, and the armed services are preparing for their role in the big event.
