This year’s London New Year fireworks display will be replaced by a “broadcast spectacular” and Trafalgar Square event after the show was scrapped due to COVID uncertainty.

Set to be shown live exclusively on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, the broadcast will celebrate the capital and highlight the defining moments of 2021.
