Lighting the way in the city of Derry

The Peace Bridge of Derry opened in 2011 to provide a pedestrian crossing between the largely unionist Waterside and the largely nationalist Cityside east and west of the River Foyle.

No-one then can have anticipated the volume of happy festival goers queuing to cross the Peace Bridge to visit the Lumiere events around Ebrington Square last weekend.

Lumiere was a four-day festival of lights, part of the massive Derry-Londonderry UK City of Culture 2013 programme of events. The event was run by Artichoke, a company that specialises in large-scale light festivals.
