The Millenium Bug may not have happened but people were excited to celebrate this once in a lifetime occasion with friends and family.
Take a look back at some of the parties, street celebrations and events which took place to mark the special occasion and see how the fashions and hairstyles have chaged in 20 years as people said goodbye to 1999 and hello to 2000.
