Beautiful display, but can't help thinking about the cost. That money could do so much good elsewhere. Hope the new year brings real change for common people, not just pretty fireworks.

Edinburgh Castle fireworks are legendary! Had the chance to visit Scotland last year - the Hogmanay celebrations are a different level of energy. Makes me wonder when our Indian cities will organize such large-scale, safe public events consistently.

The pictures are breathtaking! It's nice to see global celebrations. Meanwhile, we celebrated with family at home in Mumbai - lots of good food and laughter. Different ways to welcome the new year, but the spirit is the same. ✨

Starmer's message about "positive change" sounds good, but actions matter more than words. Hope 2026 is a year of real progress for everyone, in the UK, India, and across the world. The display was beautiful though, gotta give them that.
