Malta has welcomed in 2020 with fireworks and music as thousands of people celebrated in Valletta.

Music from artists the Travellers, Kevin Paul, Gaia Cauchi and Kurt Calleja heralded the new decade.

A series of 3D projections were emblazoned across the Presidential Palace and a fireworks display helped revellers count down the new year.

Authorities later estimated that around 70,000 people had celebrated the turn of the year in the capital city.
