New Zealand rings in 2018 as celebrations kick off around the world

New Year's Eve celebrations have begun to kick off around the world, with Samoa the first country to welcome in 2018.

The tiny pacific island saw in the new year at 10am GMT, with New Zealand following an hour later.

In Australia, 2018 will arrive at 1pm GMT with as many as one million people expected to watch Sydney harbour's world famous fireworks.

Rail strikes and Storm Dylan were expected to disrupt New Year's Eve travel in the UK, with gusts of up to 80mph forecast in Northern Ireland and Scotland.
