Chinese New Year was marked across the county and beyond earlier this month, but here we remember celebrations in Ipswich in 2000.
2018 is the Year of the Dog, but this gallery remembers celebrations on the Cornhill to see in the Year of the Dragon in 2000.
The affair saw bold and bright dancing dragons snake their way through the town centre, and drew in a huge crowd of spectators.
The Chinese dragon symbolises prosperity and good luck, along with the traditional red envelopes that are often exchanged as new year gifts.
The red envelopes are filled with money and are typically only given to children.
The colour red denotes good luck or fortune and happiness within the Chinese culture.
Decorations for the new year will often be the colour red for this reason, and you will often see red lanterns hung up for the festivities.
