Light Up London (But No Controversial Images, Please)

A holiday project to project images on buildings in London has hit a snag. “The project began with the projection of sunflowers onto the Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner on December 2 and has grown slowly, culminating with the illumination of Buckingham Palace tonight. All 10 buildings in the scheme will then be lit up each evening until New Year’s Eve. But pictures commissioned by pop star Damon Albarn – one of many celebrities taking part at the request of co-organiser Bob Geldof – proved too contentious to be projected onto London venues such as the National Theatre.”
