Tickets for the annual London New Year's Eve fireworks display will be on sale on Friday (October 2) at midday.

The display plays host annually to 100,000 people, with many more watching the display on television or from their own windows at home. The hugely popular lighting and fireworks display is focused around the London Eye.

And this year, Boris Johnson has announced a new partnership with Unicef that will raise awareness and bring change to the lives of vulnerable children around the world helped by the charity. The new partnership is being called The Big Resolution.

During this season of goodwill, and as people make resolutions and look ahead to a happy New Year, Unicef is hoping to raise vital funds to help children caught in wars and disasters around the world, like the one in Syria.

The Mayor of London said:"Our stunning fireworks display is seen by millions of people across the globe, celebrating the successes of the last year and looking ahead with optimism and positivity to the new one.

"I am thrilled that we are linking up with a global organisation like Unicef to mark the start of 2016 by bringing people together for a shared moment of goodwill to raise awareness and benefit children around the world."

The event will involve a fireworks display, music and a countdown to midnight; more details about the fireworks and Unicef's involvement will be announced soon.

People wanting to guarantee a view and entry for this year's celebrations will be able to book up to four tickets from midday on Friday October 2. Each ticket is £10.
