London Fireworks

In the 12-bong countdown at midnight in London, fireworks exploded from Big Ben. Then came the London Eye and a huge display of fireworks from barges on the Thames, watched by an estimated 250,000 people. If you missed the display, which lasted for about 11 minutes, click the title link for a BBC video of the event, which was set to music for the first time, following a recording that Britain was lumbered with the 2012 Olympics.
