Berlin bid farewell to 2020 and welcomed the new year with a massive fireworks display at Brandenburger Tor as the clock struck midnight on Thursday night and in the early seconds of Friday.

The event was broadcast live on television, as the German capital is under strict coronavirus restrictions amid the still-raging second wave of the pandemic.

As no crowd was allowed to gather at the Brandenburg Gate to watch the show in person, German broadcaster ZDF used canned cheers during the countdown and fireworks.
