The first batch of tickets for London's New Year's Eve fireworks display go on sale at midday, with about 100,000 people expected to attend the annual event on the banks of the River Thames.

The display will begin after Big Ben strikes midnight, with fireworks and light projections illuminating the sky around the London Eye.

Ticket prices for Londoners will remain at £20 or £35, depending on the viewing area. For people living outside the capital, tickets will cost £40 or £55.

City Hall warned that only tickets bought from the authorised outlet Ticketmaster will be accepted. A smaller final batch of tickets will be released later in the year.
