London skies were lit up by 12000 fireworks on the River Thames as Big Ben struck midnight marking the start of 2016. The show cost £1.8 million and lasted 11 minutes, according to UK’s Daily Mail.

Sydney‘s lavish display of fireworks was its ‘biggest and best’ ever New Year’s Eve celebrations. Sydney spent a record $ 7 million on fireworks display as the skies sparkled over the Harbour Bridge perfectly reflected by the waters below. The Australian city lived up to expectations as it is often said there is no New Year’s eve celebration quite like Sydney.

The celebrations and fireworks in other cities were praiseworthy too. The fireworks in Thailand, Bangkok and Hong Kong were spectacular and the cities revelled as the world celebrated the start of 2016.
