In pictures: London's New Year's Day parade

The event, which has been taking place since 1987, saw more than 8,000 performers entertain flag-waving crowds along the route, Qazet.az reports.

The parade, which was cancelled in 2021 due to the Covid pandemic, is thought to have attracted more than 500,000 spectators. 

London's Mayor Sadiq Khan said there was "no better place to welcome in the New Year than London".
