New Zealand has celebrated the arrival of 2022, with a spectacular light display in Auckland
Crowds were allowed to gather in the city for the first time since August, after coronavirus restrictions were relaxed.
The traditional Skytower firework display in Auckland was cancelled as a Covid-19 safety measure this year to prevent large crowds from gathering. Mr Johnson will use his New Year's message to announce the country has met its target to offer all adults the chance to get a booster vaccine by the end of the year.
