The New Yew Year's Eve photo that appeared in the Manchester Evening News has been used in memes recreating George Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte and Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam.
It's a moment that has been shared around the world and now a New Year's Eve reveller has revealed exactly what is going on the amazing photograph.
The image, captured by freelance photographer Joel Goodman, was published in a gallery on the Manchester Evening News website but later blew up on Twitter.
BBC News producer Roland Hughes tweeted the image, describing it "like a beautiful painting", and it has since been shared more than 20,000 times and been dubbed the "Creation of Manchester".
