Pontcysyllte Aqueduct bathed in light for trust launch

THE world-famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct has been bathed in light to mark the launch of a charity trust.

Glandwr Cymru (Canal and River Trust) is being officially launched today.

The running of the Llangollen canal, including the Pontcysyllte aqueduct world heritage site, will be passed to the new charity, which pledges to transform the historic canals and rivers of North Wales.

The charity is appealing for donations for projects to make the canal a haven for people and wildlife for years to come.

The aqueduct was beautifully lit in an evening event before the launch, to mark the start of a landmark 15-year government contract given to the trust to look after the nation’s waterways.

The trust is taking over from British Waterways and The Waterways Trust in England and Wales, the UK’s first major transfer of state run infrastructure into the charitable sector. Its patron is the Prince of Wales.

The 719ft-high tower shone like a beacon over south London as it marked the end of an era following the biggest digital switchover yet.

The mother of all transmitters, which reaches a fifth of the country’s TV sets all by itself, will continue to broadcast signals – but only digital ones from now on.

The 219m tall Crystal Palace broadcast tower is illuminated to mark the switch from analogue to digital television, bringing to an the end the 75 years that the antenna has been broadcasting the analogue signal.

Waterscreen Projection onto The Thames for The Watchmen Premiere

A 70-foot high image of the comic book character Dr Manhattan appeared out of the Thames last night using the world’s biggest water screen projector.

Dr Manhattan, the blue skinned, super-powered being beloved of all Watchmen fans towered above the crowds who’d gathered on the river bank in central London to see the event.

The water screen was moored in the middle of the Thames between the London Eye and The Shell Building to create an vertical screen of water that extended to 72 feet in height and 100 feet across.

Specially created Watchmen footage was projected onto the screen to show Dr Manhattan’s gigantic translucent and shimmering form.

The one-off spectacle was created to promote the big screen adaptation of the 1986 comic book series Watchmen.
