New Year's Eve emergency service staff tell their stories
One hundred thousand people were out in central London on New Year's Eve to see the fireworks and bring in the New Year. Another 75,000 joined the Hogmanay celebrations in Edinburgh.
What about those who keep the emergency services running on what is traditionally their busiest night of the year?
The Today programme asked two people working through the night to send us their audio diaries. Adrienne Tonge is a volunteer 'street angel' in Bolton. Dr Andy Webster is a consultant in an A&E department in Leeds.
First broadcast Today programme 1 January 2015.
