The Australian city of Sydney has emerged from lockdown after almost four months, with locals celebrating a range of new freedoms.
People queued for pubs and shops that opened at midnight specifically for the occasion.
Many others have been enjoying anticipated reunions and visits to the homes of relatives and friends.
COVID rules had banned household visits and travel beyond a 3.1 miles zone, separating many families.
Most restrictions have now been eased for fully vaccinated people.
People can now share meals together at reopened cafes and restaurants, and visit gyms, libraries, and pools.
Sydney's lockdown began in late June after a Delta variant outbreak took hold, leading to more than 50,000 infections and 439 deaths so far.
