Good resolutions for New Year’s Eve fireworks
Mayor Boris Johnson has teamed up with charity Unicef to organise the Capital's annual New Year's Eve fireworks display and support vulnerable children around the world.
The first ever 'Big Resolution' will be a unifying moment aimed at raising awareness and bringing lasting change to the lives of children caught in wars and disasters, like the one in Syria.
'Our stunning fireworks display is seen by millions of people across the globe, celebrating the successes of the last year and looking ahead with optimism and positivity to the new one', said the Mayor.
'I'm thrilled that we are linking up with a global organisation like Unicef to mark the start of 2016 by bringing people together for a shared moment of goodwill to raise awareness and benefit children around the world.'
This year's show is expected to attract 100,000 revellers in dedicated viewing areas around the London Eye. Ticketing was brought in for the first time last year to help manage crowds heading into central London and to ensure the event is safe and enjoyable.
As well as being enjoyed by people celebrating in viewing areas, the display is watched by millions on TV.
Tickets to watch the fireworks are available at the NYE website. People can buy up to four tickets for £10 each, with the money going towards the costs associated with the event.
