Filming the lighting of the menorah.

In celebration of Hanukkah, we went to film the lighting of the Menorah at London's Trafalgar Square on the 20th of December. We did some research before we went out filming to find out the place and the exact time the menorah will be lit to ensure we will not miss it. Having arrived a couple of hours before the lighting, we were able to film some of the live entertainment performed and speeches by the mayor of London, Borris Johnson, Vice president of the Jewish leadership council, Lord Janner. Although the event was not as grand as the Diwali festival that took place in October, there was a huge amount of people who came to celebrate the lighting of the menorah that evening.

Giant Lego Christmas Tree

After watching a BBC news report we find out that a Giant Christmas tree made out of lego has been constructed and placed in St. Pancras station. This very interesting because it has never been done in london before, and if now a cultural attraction for tourists. We are hoping to make our way now there to film a couple of seconds and take some photo's to show off this beautiful construction, of what some may call the modern christmas tree?
