STORYLINE:
Hundreds of thousands of revellers flooded into Times Square on Sunday to watch the famous crystal ball as it dropped to mark the New Year.
Preparations for the Times Square countdown had begun days in advance, and 2007
was greeted with cheering and the kissing.
Partygoers were in high spirits, smiling and joking in the unseasonably warm evening.
For some attendees, many of whom had travelled to New York from all around the United States and abroad, it was a rare opportunity to witness firsthand the festivities that included a star-studded line-up, including performances by singers Christina Aguilera and Toni Braxton, rap group Three 6 Mafia and country band Rascal Flatts.
Police said there had been no reports of unruly behaviour.
But security was tight in and around Times Square and spectators passed through police checkpoints, while sniffer dogs roamed the crowd checking for explosives.
