TO MESSY START

Scantily-clad Brit revellers hit the bottle

MILLIONS of revellers stuck two fingers up to terror fears by going on a huge bender in one of the messiest ever New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Scores of scantily-clad girls flashed the flesh as they braved the freezing cold across a chilly UK.

Dozens of drunken revellers ended up flaked out on the ground while one girl in Blackpool showed off her naked bottom as she knelt unsteadily on the pavement.

Special forces soldiers monitored crowds in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Edinburgh after the Foreign Office had urged people to be “vigilant” at events.

But the warnings did not put off revellers who were determined to bring in the New Year in the best possible way.

As the sharpshooters kept watch, partygoers across the nation chucked on their best clobber.

Cells

Gallons of beer, wine and bubbly were downed as the clock ticked towards midnight – but after 12 struck the carnage really got under way.

In Manchester, Blackpool, Aberystwyth, Swansea and Birmingham, the New Year celebrations got messy with revellers drunk in the street.

Hundreds ignored weather warnings about Storm Dylan to see in Hogmanay in Edinburgh.

One man ended his night out with a bandage wrapped around his head after a scuffle in the streets of Nottingham.

Although most people enjoyed the festivities, some violence erupted and there were several arrests.

Emergency services found themselves over-run with 999 calls on one of their busiest nights of the year.

London Ambulance Service (LAS) answered 337 calls in the first hour of 2018 with most being treated for boozerelated injuries and illnesses.

Almost 300 patients were treated by LAS on New Year’s Eve, with paramedics working from treatment centres to avoid clogging up hospital A&E departments.

As some people woke up in cells yesterday morning following the carnage, many others nursed massive hangovers.
