2000 Arrives - London,England 

***Thanks to everyone who has viewed and shared comments - I first posted this 10 years ago (1/1/10). Just curious to know where you've been coming from to see this - on your own, or is it linked somewhere I don't know about? Because I've noticed it's got many thousands more views of this one than my other Millennium videos, but I can't figure out why? Anyway - besides this one, you can also view coverage for other World Time Zones: Rome, Paris, Berlin & Madrid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3IMrWr1w5Tw.html U.S.A./Canada/ Mexico : New York, Baltimore, Washington DC, Cleveland, Chicago, New Orleans, Atlanta, Denver, Toronto, Mexico City, Calgary, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Los Angeles : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nBa0T7Y5F2I.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UEZyAbXtp7U.html Australia & Asia and more U.S.A. : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7F32aKPL5Nc.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0pZ0DHdEOhA.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zuh0HndrxGo.html

*Waits for December 31st 2999*

2000: footage recorded 2010: uploaded 2020: RU-vid’s recommendations!

2:35 The crowds are very *T H I C C*

Dad’s be like: “I haven’t seen you since last millennium!”

I was 2, i'm 17 now. I wish i could have been at least 12 to really see the millennium! Happy 2015!

Probably hard to imagine for the younger generation: if you grew up in the 1970s or 1980, the "Year 2000" had a magical ring to its name. Futuristic, new era, a sci-fi world. On the morning of 1st January 2000, I jokingly asked a friend "Where are the spaceships they promised us back then?".

I was a bus driver on New Year's Eve, 1999. I'll never forget, I was in the middle of taking a break when the clock struck midnight. I glanced through the front door of a club to see across the room at the people playing poker machines. Staring at the screens, while all the cheering and singing went on nearby. Same as it ever was.

New year, new decade, new century and new millennium. How lucky we were alive for this.

This makes me feel so old. I watched it alone as a 19 year old; seems like yesterday. I just can't believe it was 20 years ago. Listen to older people, folks, time _really_ does fly past as you move into your 20s and 30s. I can only think it goes quicker in your 40s, 50s and beyond! A scary thought because in another 20 years I'll be nearly 60. 😬 You just don't believe it when you're young, but it's real - time speeds up dramatically.

don't forget all our computers were going to crash at the stroke of midnight lol

Dads during this period pulled the ultimate dad joke: See you next millenium

"Here's to another lousy millenium." -Phillip J. Fry

1st of Jan 2010 It’s now 2nd of Jan 2020. Time flies too fast.

I felt such a strong nostalgia watching this video and then reading the comments of people who were born after the 2000s. I was 8 years old and I can still remember how wonderful that new year festivities' were and how happy I was. Everyone was so exited because WE WERE ABOUT TO WITNESS HISTORY. I don't know how to describe it, but there was a shared sense of "wow, THIS IS THE FUTURE we've long heard about, AND IT'S FINALLY HERE!". It was certainly a magical time. And from there everything went downhill (IMO). I truly miss the christmas and new years before the 2000s. I miss my childhood and my aunts who were still alive back then and with whom I used to spend the hollidays. Time sure flies by; sometimes I wish I had a time machine and could visit the times and places I loved. To the 2000s' kids: I'll just advice you to treasure every moment and not to wait 'for the future' to come, because the future is ALWAYS here and time doesn't forgive! Time is extremely precious, so don't waste it! Make the most of it every single day. Learn from past generation's mistakes so you won't repeat them, but also take the things that we/they got right so you would have a compass to point you in the right direction. P.s: I still have a Santa's hat with a 2000 number etched on its front that would light up, twinkle and play christmas music when you turned its battery on. How cool is that? 😎🎅

Time goes so fast. In another 20 mins it will be 2019 Edit: In another 20 mins it will be 2020 Edit: In another 20 mins it will be 2021 Edit: In another 20 mins it will be 2022 Edit: In another 20 mins it will be 2023 Edit: In another 20 mins it will be 2024

I was born on 3 April 1990 and feel old when reading the comments.

I was born in 2005. This is so sad. Alexa, invent a time machine.

I was 14 when 2000 came. Not old enough to drink, but was my first NYE out. Crazy to know that we got to see a millennium change, something no one alive today who was not old enough to see it will ever experience.

WHEN THE 21ST CENTURY BEGUN WE ARE ALL ANCIENT

2000: Happy New Millennium 2020: Happy New Decade

Just came here after 2017 new year, wonder how awesome it would've been to suddently enter another millenium.

20 years ago since the beginning of the millennium 10 years ago since this video

New Years Eve comes and goes, but there's only One "2000."

It’s been twenty years, Wow. OMG THX FOR 100 likes

I was born in 1994. Even though I was just almost 5 years old, I still remember how a lot of people were afraid. On the newspeaper you could read stories about what would happen and everybody started to freak out even more but when the day arrived, was awesome. Actually, i can say that that was the best new year party i've ever seen in my house (sorry if I made any grammar mistake, English is my second language and I'm still learning)

Me: is alive during the only change of millennia in hundreds of generations, but to little to remember...

I was born in 1973. I remember this like it was yesterday. Hard to believe it will soon be 18 years old! I'm 45 in 2018!

Old London seems so nice omg

My mom completed her master’s on 2000. Huge celebration for her and the world

I was there, between Big Ben and the bridge... I had just turned 18 (three weeks before). Me and my best mate at the time went down to London on the train and went to a few bars.... We almost didn't make it to the fireworks because we were that drunk haha. Good times.....

I wasn't even born yet... I was born in 2006. I believe it was a CRAZY celebration when it turned to 2000. I WASN'T THERE!!! 😭 😭 😭

born july 99, wish i was able to see this and remember it. Damn it must have been a great time

WOW hard to think this is now 16 years ago !

im listening to this in low volume, never been in London but the Big Ben's bell really gives me shivers through the body whilst people celebrate new millenia . this is fantastique

Excellent video. Brings back amazing memories! Thanks for putting it on here.

I watched this live 20 years ago, and it feels like yesterday 😨. Can’t quite believe how fast the time is going

Watching from 1st JANUARY 2022

This is great to see this. I remember they thought the computers would go down as we went into 2000. Thanks for the share. Happy New year 2020 which is also a drink 🎈 😂

Why has RU-vid recommended this to me exactly 20 years after this happened and 20 years after it was posted?

Celebrating the new millennium makes all other New Year's celebrations look like birthday parties in comparison.

I was born in 1998. Wish I could remember what was celebrating New Year in 2000

I was born on 31st December 1999

Wait, 2000 was 20 years ago!? *HORRAY WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE FROM OLD AGE!!!!!*

i dont think people realised that day we bowed out of the best era of human history, so much shit went down between 1000 and 1999

Every year especially since the Olympics in London we seem to expect and get better and more explosive firework displays. The people who choreograph them are amazing.

This is one of my earliest memories, I was near Tower Bridge during this event with my parents and the rest of my family, I was only like 4 years old at the time and vividly remember climbing up a tree when all the fireworks went off. I will be turning 25 tomorrow, time sure does fly right on by.

I’m here cuz it’s gonna be the new year 2020 in approx 8 hours and I’m not ready to see this decade end. Must of been something to see the freaking millenium end.

Well, for two good reasons: The main one being that RU-vid didn't exist in 1999, and the other being that I just hadn't gotten around to transferring it from the VHS tape until 2009, so on the 10th anniversary of Y2K, I figured it would be a good time to put it here. Please check my list for other clips of that night, including several U.S. time zones. thanks!

Came to stop by before 2020 (it’s currently 7:14 PM December 31, 2019)

I remember...still have the last few celebrations of that night on vhs (lol) starting with this one. Happy New Year!

Why did this make me cry.. Was 16 when this happened..a shit ton of memories came flooding back from this.

I was born in 1994 and don’t remember the excitement of coming into the new millennium but now I’m older I can imagine how exciting it would have felt, imagine getting to reach the year 3000

20 yrs later and this is on my recommended

Exciting. Happy New Year!

i was 8 years old when we was here celebrating now im 28😭🤧🤧

Great times. For me life changed so much after the millennium. I was a kid in the 90's and a teenager in the 00's so it represents a lot for me

And here the best New Years celebration for the pasts 19 years began

5 years old, standing on my window sill in Lewisham watching. I can still remember

I was 5 years old! 2000 was fun

Anyone here on New Year’s Eve 2021? Scary thing is, millennium eve seems like five minutes ago.

I was standing on Westminster bridge, and i have to say it was amazing! the atmosphere, the fireworks! oh and thanks to the random guy who gave us a bottle of champers! happy new year everyone!!! .)

Cannot believe that this was twenty years ago! I was 10 in 1999, and the year 2000 was so special at the time, now we are fast approaching 2020! I feel sad that time has past so fast

XD 2000 - England video 2010 - This video 2020 - Me watching

20 years later.We are still here the end of the world did not happen as they said.

I say this is one of the most exciting moments of the history of our lifetime I can imagine

I was there by the London Eye with a couple friends. We were late 20's then. We had a great night.

who else randomly got this on there recommended? Lol. Also happy 2020.

Wow! Our firework displays have improved drastically since 1999/2000 lol

You can imagine how happy all people in the world are when they welcome the year 2000

This is the content I live for!

I wasn't even born 😑

Who watching 20 years ago :)

I was almost 7 years old, my family and I watched this on our neighbours TV at their millennium party.

in 1999 I was 9 years old and I was in Paris with my parents, I have many memories of this passage from one millennium to the next

Fact: When this was filmed, it was 1999 in the USA

When you’re born in 2000 but you missed this all

It was like this outside my window all along the horizon, the sky was full of thousands of fireworks! I remember thinking to myself "so this is what 2000 looks like"!

I was only 3 when this happened! I lived in Oxford at the time, and I can vaguely remember standing on the main bridge above Osney to see the fireworks the city had put up.

I hope in the next life im born in or around 2985 to to party new years eve 2999

The day when I was born January 1st, 2000 🤗🤗

I remember this, I was only 4 at the time but welcoming in the New Millennium was amazing....17 years later I own a Millennium Experience Banner that was on display at the dome.

2000 already....so nice

lmao I'm waiting for 2020 rn its still 2019 lol

It’s been 10 years since this video was uploaded

I remember watching this... damn it's been 20 years! Makes me feel old now lol good luck to those who turn 20 this year ;) make the most of it as your early 20s are the best years you will ever have! Makes me wish that I was only turning 20 this year lol Dont know why but I like these fireworks displays back then!

Super Marvelous. They complete the celebration very well.

crazy to think this was 18 years ago

Incredible. This video is 5 years ago

My older cousin was a junior in high school in 1999, after Christmas break, going back to school in the year 2000 was just different, unimaginable he told me, ten years before 2000 he was a 90s kid, now the threshold of his adulthood was set in the new millennium. I still ask him about and it's like listening to something historical, forbidden in a way.

I was 9 when the year 2000 rolled in, I can still remember every detail :)

Hopefully I'm around to see 2100

Oh my god, I was only 5 YEARS OLD, when the millennium finally arrived here in the UK!! 😃 I actually can't remember much of the millennium, but I know it happened! 😁 On New Year's Eve, 1999, people were massively energised with excitement. Then, when the clock struck midnight, BANG! _Celebrate good times, COME ON!_ 😅 But, while everybody around the world partied the night away, me & my sibbies were all fast asleep in our beddy-byes, while Mum & Dad had a lovely Thai curry & a laugh all 2 THEMSELVES, APPARENTLY!! 😲 Now, THAT'S not bloody fair at all, IS IT!!?? 😂 That's what Mum & Dad told me, back in 2010, anyway! 😅 LOL Best of luck, take care & enjoy yourselves, everybody! Always celebrate the good times & forgot about the bad times! _Ooh yeah_ (Madonna, in the song "Holiday") 😅 Stay positive! Peace out! 😁✌

Year 2000, the most underrated year

And now 2020 has arrived, crazy

2000 miliennium bugs and 2012 end of the world... hahaha
