This wasn't just any night – it was New Year's Eve at the turn of the millennium, a moment forever etched in memory. 

The much-feared Millennium bug proved toothless as Southampton's streets and establishments came alive. 

Bars and pubs buzzed with excitement as crowds, embracing the spirit with widespread fancy dress, celebrated the arrival of a new millennium. 

The Frog and Frigate was a prime example, where then-manager Barbara Watkins joined in the fun with punters transformed into figures like Guns 'n' Roses' Slash and Batman's nemesis, the Joker. 

It was a truly unforgettable night of celebration - and these pictures make it look a hoot!
