Revellers were disappointed to welcome 2023 amid stormy gales of up to 25mph and 16mm per hour

Yellow weather warnings had been put into force for rain, snow and ice at opposite ends of the country.

But the wind and rain didn't put a dampener on the evening, with Brits still dressing up to the nines.

In Leeds revellers were snapped running from bar to bar with umbrellas and coats and handbags over their heads.

Ladies went all out in party attire, with sparkles, heels and minidresses and one group of lads were spotted wearing tuxedos.

Meanwhile in Blackpool two cheeky well-dressed women were snapped flashing their bums as cops walked by.

And in Newcastle a pair of savvy lasses were seen protecting their barnets with plastic bags as they queued for a bar.

In London thousands queued early along the Mall waiting to gain access to The Embankment on New Year's Eve.

London hosted a firework spectacular at midnight to herald the New Year on the River Thames for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
