Millions of people around the world are celebrating the start of the new year with elaborate fireworks displays.






Dubai was the latest city to ring in the New Year although it did not opt for the conventional fireworks display due to 'security reasons', instead opting for an impressive world-record breaking laser show.



The world's tallest building was emblazoned with the 'Year of Zayed', who was the former president of the United Arab Emirates.

He held onto the post for 33 years and passed away in 2004.
