Pictures and video: Light fantastic for Shropshire's famous Iron Bridge
One of Shropshire's most famous landmarks was illuminated tonight in a spectacular night-time display.
As part of the Night of Heritage Light event, people witnessed the Iron Bridge being lit up for one night only to show it off in all its glory.
Visitors to Ironbridge could also walk through tunnels either side of the bridge, which were lit up with LED lights in a range of colours.
The event was part of a national celebration organised by the Society of Light and Lighting, which illuminates a string of Unesco World Heritage sites across the country.
The aim is to mark the International Year of Light, which co-ordinates activities so that people of all ages and backgrounds can gain an appreciation of the central role of light in science and culture.
