A New Light On Buckingham PalaceEdited by Madelyn Miller, the Travellady
A total of 59 LED, connected to no less than 1,300 metres of cable, now highlight the main architectural highlights of the building, with six of the lights being fixed into the ground to spotlight the three portico columns.
What's more, it's been officially announced that the lights are to remain in place during the winter months for the rest of the Queen's reign.

The
world is seeing a new side of Buckingham Palace. Floodlights have just been
switched on to allow visitors to enjoy the full spectacle of the monarch's
Not
all sections of the Palace are lit, but the most famous aspect of the Palace is
there for all to see: the balcony which has played host to generations of
royalty and been the centrepiece of some of the nation's most memorable
occasions, from Royal weddings to birthdays to victory celebrations marking the
end of World War II.
Predictably
not everyone is happy - green campaigners have already condemned the move as
