Spectacular fireworks views captured by drone on New Year's Eve
While people on the streets of Buffalo city fought for a spot on the street to catch the New Year's Eve fireworks, one smart reveller decided to view the end of year celebrations from a different perspective.
A drone captured the spectacular display from high above the city in upstate New York, giving viewers a drone's-eye-view of the event.
The footage shows incredible views of the city's historic Electric Tower as the centrepiece of the show.
Almost one tonne of fireworks were set off from two difference locations on the tower.
Amidst the bright flashes of colour, thousands of tiny lights can be seen from the crowds recording the moment on their phones and cameras.
Tourists and locals alike flock to the city annually to witness the fireworks display and the famous New Year's Eve 'ball drop', a controlled descent of a 100kg ball to celebrate the end of one year and mark the beginning of the next.
Other New Year's Eve plans weren't quite as fabulous:
