See how the world welcomed 2015.

We’ve officially said goodbye to 2014 and welcomed 2015 with open arms (and a few glasses of wine).

While you were enjoying a nice glass of champers, grooving on a dance floor or squashed like a sardine on Sydney Harbour, the rest of the world was also ringing in the New Year, each country in its own unique fashion.
