But it was only a few years ago when major celebrations were held in Cathedral Square to mark the New Year.
The Peterborough Telegraph photographers were on hand to capture images of the fireworks, cheers – and even funfairs – that were held on December 31.
See if you can spot yourself – and a Happy New Year to all our readers, advertisers and staff!
