This spectacular light show marked the end of the opening ceremonies for Europe’s new tallest building, the Shard in London. The 310 meter-high skyscraper contains 11,000 glass panels and dwarfs everything around it, including nearby Tower Bridge and Saint Paul's Cathedral. Coloured beams of light shone from the 95 storey glass elongated pyramid which is the 59th tallest building in the world. The laser display could be seen for miles around. The iconic building has been accused of ruining views over traditional landmarks although with a sight like this I don’t think too many people were complaining.
