Watch the moment fireworks erupt across Leeds to celebrate the New Year

Video captured from one of Leeds' best viewpoints shows the moment fireworks erupted across the city as people celebrated the New Year.

Residents in Beeston had a clear vantage point of the fireworks in different parts of Leeds as they saw in 2020 this morning.

Beeston has some of the clearest views of the city skyline due to its location on a hill and being just a stone's throw from the centre.

Thousands hit Leeds city centre to see out the decade on Tuesday night.

Claire Bentley-Smith, who captured last night's footage, said: "It was magical seeing the whole city and beyond celebrating."
