We're being urged to stay at home to ring in the New Year.
Households in Jersey are not allowed to mix indoors.
Exceptions were made for Christmas Day and Boxing Day only - meaning none of the usual New Year's Eve or New Year's Day celebrations.

Celebrations across the UK have had to be cancelled or moved online - including London's fireworks event and Scotland's Hogmanay festival.
