Details of NYC Waterford Crystal ball drop revealed
The Waterford Crystal ball that will drop in New York's Times Square to usher in 2013 will have 288 new crystal panels with doves chiselled into them to mark the theme 'Let There Be Peace'.
The triangular panels replace 288 old ones on the 2,668-panel ball.
The Irish crystal company said that organisers are doing something special this year, and people are invited to send in their personal messages of peace via social media.
Some messages will be read during a live webcast. The rest will be posted on the internet.
