There has been a lot of bad news in 2016 - from the deaths of beloved actors, singers and sportspeople to terror attacks and violence in Syria.

Matt Strange compiled a list of reasons to be cheerful in 2016, encouraging people to see the "beauty in the world" and "be part of something better".

His Facebook post has since been widely shared across social media.

Among his reasons are the development of an Ebola vaccine, Leonardo DiCaprio finally getting an Oscar and the number of wild tigers increasing.
