People parade through the streets with barrels of buring tar on New Year's Eve in Allendale, Britain, 31 December 2018. Dating back to 1858, 45 barrel carriers, called Guisers, parade through the town balancing whisky barrels filed with burning tar on their heads. The barrels are used to light a bonfire at midnight in the town center while spectators and participants shout 'Bedamned to he who throws last'. EPA/NIGEL RODDIS
