Embroidered Ornament – London Skyline Fireworks

Nowhere welcomes the New Year quite like London, where hundreds of thousands gather along the Thames each 31 December to watch the sky light up over the city. The modern tradition began in 1999, with a display to mark the millennium, and grew into the spectacle we know today once the London Eye opened in 2000, quickly becoming the centrepiece of the show. At the stroke of midnight, as Big Ben's chimes ring out, thousands of fireworks erupt from the wheel itself, synchronised to music and lighting up the skyline above Westminster for millions watching at home and abroad.

What began with modest displays in Trafalgar Square has grown into one of the most-watched New Year's celebrations in the world, a dazzling send-off to one year and welcome to the next.

This embroidered ornament captures a touch of that midnight sparkle, a lovely addition to the tree each Christmas.
