For a lot of people in Ghana and Africa, New Year’s Eve is spent in church, waiting on God for a prosperous year ahead.
Well, the story was different for young people in Britain as millions nurse their hangover today after hitting the high streets for the final party of 2019.
There were wild scenes in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff, Newcastle, Swansea, Leeds, Blackpool and in Edinburgh where tens of thousands took part in Hogmanay celebrations as the UK entered a new decade.
As the wine, beer and spirits flowed partygoers, many dressed in skimpy cloths, danced and drank the night away with friends and loved-ones.
A sizeable minority had one too many drinks as people were seen vomiting, urinating in doorways, fighting each other or being carried to ambulances.
In the worst cases there were arrests as the partying got out of hand as the emergency services battled on during one of the busiest nights of the year.
