More than a million people in New York's Times Square cheered at the 100th drop of a giant ball.

This year's event featured an energy - efficient ball clothed in Waterford crystals (水晶), with 9,576 light - shining diodes (二极管) that generated a lot of colors.

    In London, people gathered in Trafalgar Square and along the banks of the River Thames to watch a firework display and hear Big Ben welcome the New Year with 12 resounding bongs.
