London's New Year's Eve fireworks show along the River Thames has been cancelled for the second year in a row due to concerns over Covid, city authorities have said.
“Due to the uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, our world-famous New Year's Eve display will not be held on the banks of the Thames this year,” Reuters quoted the Mayor of London's office as saying in a statement.
The city is considering a number of “exciting options” to replace it, a spokesman added, promising that “London will be welcoming the new year in a spectacular way”.
