Happy New Year’s Eve!
It’s certainly a different one as the planet celebrates the second New Year’s Eve during the Covid-19 pandemic. Pacific islands including Samoa, Kiribati and Christmas Island have already been among the first to mark the arrival of 2022.
It’s been a year that has seen the roll-out of vaccines, the Capitol attacks, the US’ withdrawal from Afghanistan, Derek Chauvin was jailed for murdering George Floyd , the latest James Bond finally hit cinema screens and Britney Spears was freed from her conservatorship.
It was a year to remember in sport, as 18-year-old Emma Raducanu won the US Open, England reached the final of a major tournament for the first time since 1966 and the delayed Tokyo Olympics took place.
Many celebrations in major cities across the globe have been cancelled because of the threat of rising Covid cases amid the Omicron variant. So as we splutter rather than sashay into the New Year, tell us how you’re seeing in the New Year.
