We would like to extend warm wishes to you all and a happy New Year's Eve!

From @dclareadingroom.bsky.social collection in DRI, cast your mind back to 1955 and the New Year celebrations in Dublin City. If you look to the back right, you can see a circle of people, presumably singing Auld Lang Syne.
A large black and white crowd of people smiling and waving at the camera. The scene conveys excitement and unity, with a diverse group in coats.
