Come on this is so embarrassing. This was the Millennium!!! We messed up that big time, boring fireworks. But at least we did 2012 very well!!! It was brilliant - loved the fireworks this year. xx

@airdriver There are loads of fireworks every year in London on Guy Fawkes Day; Remember remember the fifth of November, Gunpowder, treason and plot. I suppose however that fireworks could remind anyone of war to a certain degree.
Eleven years on and we still have an on-going war on terror, people uploading their personal data to social-networking platforms while baying for privacy (irony?) and tweeting, planking i-people on talent shows...well done.
If Anything, America is the PARTY NATION go to times square for new years, its music, coneffti party, HUGE countdowns, and ball drops, especially this years, wow it was crazy fun!
Take this time to think of the unfortunate people who didn't get to see the millenium. A once of a lifetime oppurtunity especially people who died in 1999
@YangSing1 Just the fact you were here when you were 4 gives you the right to claim you witnessed the new Millennium! It really was a fantastic night and we were in Parliament Square as the clock struck and the fireworks let rip! I took videos and have never uploaded them to Youtube! I must sort that out soon because there aren't as many on as I expected.
i was 3 at the time. the only thing i remember is my granny telling me 'were starting a new generation' ... quite sad i wish i was there or knew what it was :( a millenium is something that happens once in your life IF your extremely extremely lucky!!
Announcer: "The British say they're going to have a bigger show come midnight than anyplace else in the world... They're going to set of 45 major fireworks every second... you hear the twelve bongs of midnight, and as that begins, the River of Fire will extend right up the Thames river... This should be quite something to see!!" Of course it never happened. The British began the new millennium with a total and typical shambolic failure.
It was like this outside my window all along the horizon, the sky was full of thousands of fireworks! I remember thinking to myself "so this is what 2000 looks like"!
I was 16 then and watched this with my parents on telly. Weren't we promised a "river of fire" at some point, I seem to remember? Heh. Looks like a back-garden display compared to what they produce now. Maybe I'll get myself down there to see in 2012 :)
I was standing on Westminster bridge, and i have to say it was amazing! the atmosphere, the fireworks! oh and thanks to the random guy who gave us a bottle of champers! happy new year everyone!!! .)
THIS IS THE MOST SPECTACULAR THING I'VE EVER SEEN U__U i have to go to london in NY eve my godness im from Peru................... this is unbelievableeeeeeeeeee and totally unforgetable
wow the exact second here in egland the 90's ended and the 2000's start, glad i as bonr in the 90's so i could see the start of the new millenium, 90's kid and proud :)
@johnson9dantheman Agree! London and Paris were the best. London was more mastodont, almost like a war zone; the Eiffel tower was more stylish and inventive.
