I was a cameraman on this. My shots had Big Ben in the foreground (taken from the roof of Westminster Abbey). It was cool having the first shot of 2024 on the BBC. So pleased you enjoyed the show.
The Mayor of London is no longer Boris Johnson. Sadiq Khan has been the Mayor since 2016. Boris Johnson went onto become Prime Minister from 2019 to 2022.
Fun lil fact: the people usually doing the fireworks are those who win the British fireworks championships each year (which happens where I live so we get a lil taste of what’s to come, although it’s done over the ocean instead of river here)! Also, we got rickrolled after this by Rick Astley himself which set such a tone for the year lmao
The reading of poetry and digital plant imagery, was a tribute to Benjamin Zephaniah who was a British writer, dub poet, actor, musician and professor of poetry and creative writing who passed away suddenly this year.
London fireworks are usually done by Titanium Fireworks. Look up Illusion Fireworks who do various musical themed events around the UK or look up the Fireworks Championships.
That evening we had me as the lighting technician for the lighting and the fireworks technicians for the fireworks and we had drones for the sky images. And we had speakers dotted along the bank of the Thames where the audience are standing but London can can take sydneys fireworks display and take it to a whole new level
As you mentioned that you were at london but couldnt see big ben that was because big ben was silenced in august 2017 to allow restoration work to Elizabeth tower which houses it Westminster said it was unsafe for workers to work next to such a loud bell the only time we saw big ben reactived during the 4 year peroid was rememberance sunday and the festive peorids after those events big ben got silenced again for the work to continue
Happy New Year Favour, we love our fireworks. In Manchester well Salford part of Manchester we have a free fireworks display every Nov 5th in buile hill park I have videos of some b4 pandemic hit. Sadly ill health prevented me attending the 2023 display 😢 love your reactions and as over here in the UK I'm sending my respect to you and all doctor's and nurse's a big RESPECT!
Sydney is one of the world’s most diverse cities. So is Melbourne. In fact, the largest Greek-speaking population outside of Greece and Cyprus is in Melbourne, Australia.
Happy new year even though it 6 days ago😂, but can you react past London new year fireworks between 2010-2024 my personal favourite is the 2020 new year it's very synchronised and very smoky because of the fireworks of course and it was so smoky that the poor cameraman on the helicopter had to live shot it behind the eye😂 And if you were wondering about those light on the sky they are drones.
Boats will have been restricted - most Western capitals were on high alert - including London - The houses of parliament are next to / attached to Big Ben and front the river plus such a large gathering of people - Basically could be deemed a security risk - sad that we have to think like this, but we do, unfortunately through experience. - the cost of the fireworks is around £2million for the 12,000 or so that they used - that's just buying them, then add the organising etc.
The actual reason for it will be because there is a minimum spectator distance. The boats would likely be too close to the fireworks breaking rules so they use the bridges as a reference for how close you are allowed to get
Don't live in a big city unless you can handle some persase. It's what London does and has done for centuries. Can't handle the heat. Move out of the kitchen permanently and period.

The tickets are £100 each and 10,000 people go to it ( £10,000000 ) for the show I was there myself, and people came from all over the world to see it.
I forgot how insufferable some of you are lol 😂💕

RIP to the 16 year old boy who was stabbed in a London park while watching the celebration fireworks
What?!?
Is it real?
I bet he was white .
Yes it's true. He was watching them with friends at primrose hill. It's a tradition to go there for a good view. Stabbed by a 16 year old 😢
Omg not on New Year’s Day that’s awful

Why do you keep skipping anything related to the royal family?
A better question is "why is the fireworks display celebrating a family that protects Prince Andrew?"
@@realname689They chucked him out of public life and service. Not much more they can do with him really.
After watching how other Countries bring in the New Years, NY City looks like a back yard birthday party.
The poetry reading with the dandelion was a tribute to Benjamin Zephaniah, a poet and activist who passed away on the 7th December.
One thing you missed in this one was the segment to the Barbie movie, it caught me off guard when I first saw it 😂

Once again we Londoners show we know how to welcome the new year. London in my opinion is the best place to be for Christmas and New Year’s.
Yes man we London's are holding it down
yeah cos you're a Londoner, i couldn't give twohoots about the place lol
@@unwrittenwizard910ok? and lol
@@unwrittenwizard910the UK without London would be nout period.
🥰👍@@billy_5658
What's your problem with king Charles? 🤔
British monarch as a whole
They sell 100,000 tickets at £20 each for a ringside seat. That just about covers the cost.
Those "Appartments" next to Big Ben are in FACT Govt Offices
Once again, London takes it! 🥹🎆 Happy New Year 💕👋
Yes as a Londoner he'll yes we always take it down when it comes to new years fireworks
The lights in the sky are drones i guess
@@Randomdude21-e no it’s people tied to balloons holding candles !

The blonde guy with the funky hair is Boris Johnson 😂😂😂. He hasn’t been the mayor for years. He has been Prime Minister since then
London have spend around £2 million on fireworks... crazy!
happy new year to you and all the family. love your reactions 🤓. much respect Birmingham UK.
You should react to the 2012 one that one was amazing
You missed the section about the Barbie film 😭
No issue with flying as the fireworks only go up at most 1,000 feet, airplanes fly much higher! 😊
More than 12,000 fireworks, 600 drones, 430 lights.
Normally the budget is around £2 Million.
hopefully you watched it back after with the sound as you missed a lot of commentary about 75 years of nhs 75 years of the wind rush etc
Lol I know - I 'reactione'r that misses most of the event.
It’s way better when you see it in person I loved it this year and you should just see the after celebrations it’s great
The clock went off before the countdown because those chimes (quarter chimes) ring a few seconds before the hour
I believe I am right in saying London has citizens from 270 nationalities who now call London home.
Sydney is one of the world’s most diverse cities. So is Melbourne. In fact, the largest Greek-speaking population outside of Greece and Cyprus is in Melbourne, Australia.
No one Beats Us Baby
Looks good with the drones flying with the dandy lions and the little kid with the ballon
They have big speakers in the street so everyone can hear the music 👍
Sydney had Bridge & Opera House icons.

Yes they have speakers lining the streets
“The sperminators” 😂😂
Elizabeth tower not big ben
My plane leaves friday to go to london for the 1st time! I can not wait!
Hope you have the best time!! If you’re in the Barking station area, try the hole in the wall burger place thats near the park!!!!
london is a international city

hi they got 3 boat for fireworks near the eye
see this Capodanno 2024, il drone in volo tra i fuochi d'artificio a Napoli allo scoccare della mezzanotte
i wanted to watch the fireworks and all i can hear is you. Sad really.
Sandra, perhaps you should enroll back in school to work on your reading comprehension as “reaction” is clearly in the title. Bless your heart
@@FavourInternationalfacts😂😂😂😂
LMAO YESSS @@FavourInternational
Some people make a nice income from Airbnb and other similar places over New Year 😏
Lol UAE etc in the middle east and Australia were colonies of The UK 🇬🇧 So, they'd better have up'd their firework game. Following London....😮
2012 the best one
The tickets are £100 each and 10,000 people go to it ( £10,000000 ) for the show I was there myself, and people came from all over the world to see it.
They arent £100 each they are £15 each
Tickets were £15 indeed.
London is not for everyone lol. The place is gentrified beyond belief
Exactly. Most people can't afford to live there or even feel safe.
what a load of narrative bllcks that was .
You’re familiar with bllck loads huh?
@@FavourInternational I missed the "O" out after the B.and the L
Have a look at this years Hogmonay from Edinburgh, leaves the London offering for dust.
😂😅😂
Chek out Scotland hogmayu wood love it
