The guys were back again at Pontcysyllte Aqueduct’s World Heritage Site ‘Pontfest 2013’ lighting the magnificent 126 foot high aqueduct – the longest in Britain!
This year brought a huge crowd to see the show of searchlights, flames and fireworks for the family ‘picnic in the park’ event.
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct Searchlight Show
On Friday 12 July 2013 huge crowds gathered at Pontcysyllte Aqueduct to see the Word Heritage site landmark lit up on a fabulous summer evening. There were thousands of people enjoying the live music throughout the evening as they eagerly awaited the sky to darken and the light show to begin. The light show directed at the Aqueduct Arches was spectacular and followed by a Fireworks display donated by a local “Kevin” company – an amusing pronunciation of “Cefn” by the compare. Nobody left the evening disappointed. Congratulations to the organisers.

Searchlights for stadiums
Searchlights were called in to support Arsenal against Munich Bayern’s Champions League game.
6 high powered Searchlights were used around the stadium shining high into air. Each searchlight has a high powered 8000kw xenon lamp which creates a beam up to a mile high in the sky – so high we always get CAA approval to use the lights!

Shard building launch, lasers and search lights
BRITAIN’S tallest building was officially unveiled yesterday — with a dazzling laser display that lit up the London skyline.
Beams of light shot out of The Shard on the banks of the River Thames to mark the completion of the skyscraper’s exterior.
The view from inside is equally awesome. I was
one of the first journalists welcomed in for a sneak peek a few hours before last night’s breath-taking display, which was rehearsed days earlier.
My ears popped as I whizzed up the middle of the 1,016ft glass structure at a rate of six floors a second.
Although work on the inside is expected to continue into 2013, I was taken 800ft up to the viewing gallery.
It doesn’t open to the public until February but tickets go on sale today at a pricey £24.95 each for adults.
Spectacular … The Shard turns yellow
For that, you do get extraordinary 40-mile views in each direction from the site in Southwark.

Searchlights at Poncysyllte, Wales
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.
