It's the time that brings family and friends together. And celebrities have led the charge on social media on Saturday, taking to Instagram to reveal who they'll be ringing in 2017 with.

William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have been criticised for managing fewer annual engagements than Charles and Diana at the same stage of their life. When William and Harry were three-years-old and one-year-old respectively, their parents attended 703 royal engagements. Now with George and Charlotte at the same ages in 2016, the Cambridge have been to 328 in the year, less than half the number of Charles and Diana. One source said they are committed to raising their children.

From nip slips to Marilyn Monroe moments, 2016 was full of scandalous wardrobe malfunctions, on and off the red carpet.

Mother-of-one Kelly Rose Bradford, 43, (pictured) hates the night and the enforced celebration around it. She asks: 'Why would we want to embrace being another year older and another year having passed?' She's insisted that this year she'll be refusing all invites, steering clear of Prosecco and will be tucked up in bed by 10pm. Here, she explains to FEMAIL why she believes December 31 is the most miserable night of the year.

NEW Revellers descend on the coastal town of Byron Bay to welcome in the New Year at the Falls Festival, after the music event hit headlines earlier this week. Some appeared to enjoy the performing artists a little too much at the three-day event, letting everything loose and nothing to the imagination, while many others appeared to be enjoying the water amenities on offer. The festivals have already made headlines following a number of horrific incidents earlier this week.

Selena Rollason, a mum-of-four from Brisbane, is Australia's Birth Photographer of the Year. She shares with FEMAIL a series of photographs capturing the emotion of childbirth.

From drinking at a £20,000-a-table club in New York to sailing off the French coast with 32 beautiful women, the Rich Kids of Instagram tell MailOnline how they are spending New Year's Eve. They include businessman Benedict Kusay and his seven best friends, who extended an open invite 'gorgeous women' to join them for a night of champagne, dance music and 'fireworks' aboard their rented yacht in Normandy. Spanish blogger Mon Rovi is retreating to a ski resort for the rich and famous in the Pyrenees, where she expects her champagne-fuelled friends to be 'dancing on the tables'.

Benjamin Allan Sara, 32, (left) and Darren 'Stripes' Mohr, 42, (right) two of the men accused of trying to smuggle a ton of cocaine into Australia, seem to have a taste for the finer things in life if their social media is anything to go by. Sara, an entrepreneur, is pictured driving luxury cars, posing with endangered animals and bragging about $800 shoes he has purchased. Meanwhile Mohr struts his stuff in designer suits, is snapped on yachts at Monaco, and takes a flight in a helicopter. They are accused with Joseph 'Joe' Pirrello, 63, a fishing firm boss, Richard Lipton, 37, son of a prominent lawyer, and security guard Jonathan Cooper, 29.

Garry Lyon has reportedly purchased a new multi-million dollar farmhouse (pictured) which he can use as a 'romantic escape' with his rumoured girlfriend Nicky Brownless. The former AFL star (inset, right) has been reclusive in 2016, ever since news broke of his affair with Brownless (inset, left), the wife of his best mate and former Footy Show colleague Billy (inset, far left). But now, just weeks after announcing his plans for a return to the media next year, Lyon, 49, has reportedly purchased the stunning $2 million holiday home on the picturesque Mornington Peninsula, an hour south of Melbourne. It is believed the property will act as a getaway for the couple, who friends describe as being 'very happy' together.

The 76-year-old says she is without an income, unable to travel or pay for basics including food after the Wildenstein family trust fund that made her monthly payments of around $111,000 dried up. Before, Wildenstein - pictured top right during a new interview with Daphne Barak, and bottom right in court - had been widely regarded as being one of the wealthiest women in the United States after securing a $2.5million (£2 million) divorce settlement when she split from ex husband Alec Wildenstein, inset. But now she claims she is destitute and says she has no money to pay for anything.

The day before my third wedding, my daughter Carrie Fisher's plane flew in from London with a few of her close friends. And she wasn't on it. Instead, my 27-year-old daughter called to say she couldn't make it. Her brief marriage to songwriter Paul Simon was breaking up, following a miscarriage, and she was still recovering from losing the baby and the subsequent surgery. On top of that, she was devastated that I was marrying again.

Saparman Sodimejo, also known as Mbah Gotho, has an Indonesian ID card that purports his date of birth is December 31, 1870. He celebrated his birthday with his living relatives in the Seragaen district of Central Java. Attending his party were his grandson Suryanto and wife Suwarni, with their children Erika Kurniawati and Anisa Kurniawati, among other younger surviving relatives. He has, unsurprisingly, outlived all 10 of his siblings as well as his four wives, the last of whom died in 1988.

Welcome to 404, a remote city in the far-flung Gobi Desert which was built as a national secret in 1950s so that Communist China could make its first nuclear weapon during the height of the Cold War. As if it's to add to its mystery as a city that is never there, the city's code name - also the name of the nuclear plant it served - happens to be the responsive code one gets nowadays when a webpage cannot be found. Once thriving and full of life, the 500-acre city, located among the barren sands of central Asia, is now largely deserted. A set of incredible pictures, taken by a Chinese photographer who claims to grow up there, captures the haunting presence of today's 404 city - after all residents were relocated by the authority in 2005.

Hanaa Mahmoud told how her 18-day old daughter died as her family of 19 fled ISIS controlled Mosul in Iraq and trekked for two months to reach Jada'a-3 refugee camp, Qayyarah. Hanaa's husband Abdullah, 48, pictured with his wife and family, also revealed the horror of living in Mosul where he lost his job as a fuel delivery driver because he refused to pledge allegiance to the fanatics. He said they poisoned the city's water supply and made people watch beheadings in the street. Hanaa gave birth to baby Mona and cut the umbilical cord herself, but she died after coughing up blood. Pictured inset is Abdullah by his newborn daughter's grave.

This year's group of ladies came from some of the most elite families in the world, and included the great-great-granddaughter of President Dwight Eisenhower representing the United States as well as the daughter of billionaire businessman Jingyuan Yu representing China. Wendy Yu was one of 10 international debutantes at this year's ball, and the young woman who now resides in China made her mark on the event by donning a custom-designed haute couture gown from Italian designer Giambattista Valli. The price of haute couture pieces are never made public by the few design houses who still craft them, but Yu's ensemble of cascading chiffon could very well have cost six figures. And that is just one of the costs for the young women, who in addition to their white gown and white gloves also pay to be perfectly coiffed and painted for the big evening. Jewelry is a big part of the night as well, and many of the women finished off their looks with pricey baubles both borrowed and bought for the stylish affair, which kicked off with a photo shoot featuring the girls at 6:15pm and ran until 2am Friday. There is also a $22,000 entry fee that the ladies must pay to be a part of the event.

Two of the largest families in the world came face to face this year - with 35 children between them. The UK's biggest brood, the Radfords of Morecambe, Lancashire, who have 19 children, travelled to Queensland, Australia, to meet their counterparts Ray and Jenny Bonell and their 16 offspring (all pictured). Although they live in very different households - the Bonells have a strict code of conduct - they could certainly agree on one thing - they both want more children.

Lovelace, a pure bred Maltese, pictured, has become an online star after she was photographed trying to comfort her owner Mayrelyn Phan, pictured top right, with a tissue when she started welling up watching TV.

Pictures that show Lovelace collecting and delivering the tissue have attracted the attention of thousands of admirers online.

In one of the most innovative natural history series ever presented, Spy in the Wild deploys over 34 animatronic Spy Creatures to go undercover in the animal world, including langurs, orangutans, meerkats and crocodiles. Some of the most remarkable stories in the series couldn't be planned as the events are so rare or had never been witnessed before. In a filming first, the crew witness and film a scene as one young chimpanzee finds an abandoned genet kitten and treats it with care and love as humans do for our own pets.

They have shared sets with some of Hollywood's biggest names, and are not afraid to steal the limelight now and again. But these five stars of the screen are not your average A-listers.
