16 fab photos as Newtownabbey residents celebrate New Year's Eve 2013

As the last of the Christmas turkey gets used in a curry and decorations start to come down in some households, residents will be making plans for New Year’s Eve.

We’ve had a look through the Newtownabbey Times archive to see how the big night was celebrated over a decade ago.

Hopefully these photos from December 31 2013 bring back some happy memories.

Can you spot anyone you know?
