London transformed by festival of light
It's been a cold weekend, but Londoners came out in their hundreds of thousands to enjoy the Lumiere Festival in which 30 of London's most famous locations were transformed by a series of spectacular light installations.
Stars of the British screen were beamed onto the facade of BAFTA, there were flying fish-bird-dragon-like creatures in Piccadilly and a huge elephant lumbering down Air Street.
Artist Patrice Warrener's Light of the Spirit enveloped the beautiful West Front of Westminster Abbey in a riot of kaleidoscopic colour and light. The projection highlighted the architectural mastery of the medieval building and the glorious statues of the 20th-century martyrs: St Maximilian Kolbe, Manche Masemola, Janani Luwum, Grand Duchess Elizabeth of Russia, Martin Luther King, Blessed Óscar Romero, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Esther John, Lucian Tapiedi, and Wang Zhiming.
