New Year in Dublin

The Irish city of Dublin rings in the New Year with the bells of the beautiful medieval Christ Church Cathedral.

The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity at the top of Dame Street in Christ Church Place welcomes the new year as bars and clubs around the Irish capital throw annual parties.

Just before midnight on December 31st a crowd usually gathers outside the cathedral to hear one of the city's most famous traditions, taking warm drinks, clothes and blankets to shut out the chilly Irish weather.

It is notoriously hard to find a spot inside the cathedral or its bell tower for the event, but the crowd outside tends to be lively and friendly.

The tradition is for bell ringers to carry out a peal of 16 rings at midnight. The old year is rung out until just before midnight, while ringing in the new year runs from midnight until 00:45 GMT.

The cathedral is the seat of the Archbishop of Dublin and is built on the site of the Viking settlement at Wood Quay on the River Liffey. It contains the largest cathedral crypt in Britain and Ireland and a number of important monuments and artefacts.

Some of the bells at the 13th century cathedral date from the 1400s and it is known to have had a ringing bell in place since 1038.
