Watch again: New Year’s numerals for 2024 are delivered to Times Square

Watch as the New Year’s numerals were delivered to Times Square for the New Year’s Eve celebration (20 December).

The iconic numerals arrived in Times Square in New York City, being lit up at 11am and ready to be placed under the famous ball on Friday to ring in 2024.

Before they illuminate New York, the numerals made a cross-country trip, having been displayed in Los Angeles and Inglewood in California, Arizona, and Philadelphia before arriving at Times Square.

The numerals weigh more than 1,000 pounds and they’re made up of 588 lightbulbs. The ball itself weighs another 12,000 pounds.
