<p>Hundreds of thousands of revellers have taken to the streets to begin saying goodbye to 2010 and hello to 2011.</p>
<p>Masses gathered in London to see in the New Year on front of the London Eye where up to 250,000 people were expected to enjoy the carnival atmosphere.</p>
<p>And festive organisers in Edinburgh prepared for up to 80,000 partygoers to enjoy the Hogmanay street party and festival, which began on Thursday night with a torchlight procession along the Royal Mile.</p>
<p>During the early evening crowds gathered along the banks of the River Thames and spilled into Trafalgar Square and central London. BBC Radio 1 DJ Nihal hosted the event, drawing cheers from the crowds after the music started at 10pm accompanied by lasers and lights from the Eye.</p>
<p>First aiders were already out on the streets by 10pm as the party geared up for the climax at midnight, while security teams had to ask some high-spirited party-goers to get down from traffic lights along Victoria Embankment.</p>
<p>A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the crowds were larger than last year but so far there were only five arrests for minor offences.</p>
<p>Weather forecasters said as the clock struck midnight &#8211; and we moved to &#8220;all the ones&#8221;, 1/1/11 &#8211; the nation&#8217;s enjoyment of firework displays might be marred by patches of fog, cloud and mist.</p>
<p>Most of the UK was expected to have a covering of cloud with some drizzle although the evening should remain dry.</p>
<p>After weeks of arctic temperatures and a year of economic belt tightening for most, revellers were keen to welcome in a new year.</p>
<p>The Concert in the Gardens, in Edinburgh, features top bands The Charlatans, Biffy Clyro and Billy Bragg and sold out along with the Keilidh in Resolution Square.</p>
