The final round of tickets for London's annual New Year's Eve fireworks display will go on sale at midday on Monday.

They are priced between £20 and £50, depending on the viewing area, and Londoners will be charged £15 less than visitors.

The first round of tickets went on sale on 18 October.

“I’m proud that every year the eyes of the world look to London to see how we welcome in the new year," said Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.

"Our tickets are always in high demand so I urge anyone wanting to attend this fantastic evening to buy them as soon as possible from our only authorised outlet.”

The celebrations begin with Big Ben’s chimes and are shown live around the world on the BBC.

Tickets for some viewing areas have more than doubled - from £20 to £50 - for the 12-minute display.

City Hall said prices had increased this year to "enhance security and crowd management".

It stressed only tickets from official sales partner Ticketmaster would be accepted.

Last year there were issues with fake tickets in circulation.
