London landmarks to light up in honour of 80 years since the end of WW2
Landmarks across the capital are set to glow red, white, and blue tonight to mark 80 years since WW2.
London is set to light up tonight (August 15) as some of the city’s most iconic landmarks light up to honour the 80th anniversary since the end of the second world war.
Honouring the service and sacrifice of those who served during the second world war, and all those who lived through it, the city’s landmarks will be lit red, white, and blue.
In particular The Shard, London’s tallest building, will display a bold union jack across its spire lights at the top of the pyramid-shaped skyscraper.
Some of London’s other well-known beacons including Buckingham Palace, 10 Downing Street, the Houses of Parliament and the Tower of London are also set to glow in remembrance.
Earlier this year, London’s landmarks lit up to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day (Victory In Europe Day). At the time themed projections were cast over famous locations including the Ministry Of Defence and Big Ben.
The Shard and other iconic spots around London are set to light up around 9pm tonight.
