As London commemorates the 80th anniversary of VE Day, various iconic buildings are expected to be lit in patriotic colors. However, thereâs uncertainty regarding the schedule and actual participation of numerous structures. Buckingham Palace will likely be illuminated, with a recommendation to view it in darker conditions from a distance. Meanwhile, the Shard has confirmed its nightly lights will reflect the Union Flag, while other locations like St Paul's Cathedral have not displayed the anticipated colors. Observers are encouraged to explore and take advantage of strategic viewing spots for the best experience.
For the next couple of nights, you might - maybe - see a host of London buildings lit up in patriotic colours to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
Buckingham Palace will almost certainly be lit up on Wednesday and Thursday, as an air traffic alert warns of spotlights shining into the skies until Thursday night.
The Shard, which has confirmed it will be lit up nightly until Thursday (8th May), is showing the colours of the Union Flag.
One of the staff from the lighting company advised that the air-raid style spotlights are better seen from further back and later at night when it's a bit darker.
