UK welcomes 2022 with fireworks in London, and muted celebrations nationwide

A spectacular display in London has helped the UK usher in 2022, with people turning out to watch despite being encouraged to stay at home and enjoy the show on television.

Details of the location of the spectacle, which involved a light show, drones and fireworks, were not revealed in advance amid the continuing spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

Big Ben helped ring in the New Year for the first time since 2017 after a restoration.
