Noel Gallagher Joins Kasabian Onstage In Edinburgh















Almost 120,000 revellers welcomed in 2008 at Hogmanay bashes in Edinburgh and Glasgow as Scots showed the world how to party last night.

People flocked from all around the world to Edinburgh for Europe’s biggest party – and the celebrations were spectacular.

Gales and rain forced last year’s event in the capital to be cancelled.

But there were no hitches last night and organisers hailed the bash, which drew 100,000 people, a huge success.

Other street carnivals around the country – including in Glasgow, where celebrations were washed out last year too – were also a hit, with more than 15,000 packing the city centre.

Rockers Kasabian headlined the Edinburgh party with Calvin Harris and Idlewild.

There had been disappointment when X Factor winner Leon Jackson had to pull out of the Concert in the Gardens with tonsillitis.

But Oasis star Noel Gallagher soon raised spirits by joining Kasabian on stage for two songs, before leading the countdown to the bells. Kasabian also dedicated one of their songs to tragic footballer Phil O’Donnell.

Crowds who had flocked to the capital also enjoyed the traditional gunfire on the ramparts of Edinburgh Castle at the stroke of midnight before sensational fireworks lit the sky.
