Big Ben light switched on to mark end of WWII blackouts
On Thursday evening, Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle turned on the Ayrton Light above Big Ben to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War blackouts.
In peacetime, the lantern light always shone out after sunset in order to show that the House of Commons was at work.
