London Lit Up As Brussels Victims Remembered

Some of London's most recognisable landmarks have been lit up in the colours of the Belgian flag as a tribute to the victims of the Brussels terrorist attacks.

The London Eye, Tower Bridge, Wembley Stadium and The National Theatre glowed in red, yellow and black.

At Trafalgar Square, a 25m-long Belgian flag was unfurled on the central staircase as part of a vigil organised with the Belgian embassy.

Two Belgian flags have been projected on to the front of The National Gallery, and the square's fountains have also been lit up.

London Mayor Boris Johnson says the gesture is "a sign of solidarity with the people of Brussels".
