New York’s World Trade Centre at Ground Zero, the Big Wheel on Place de la Concorde in Paris, and City Hall in Tel Aviv are three of the latest landmarks to join the growing list of famous international attractions that will go green this St Patrick’s Day.

Police in the North have arrested a 38-year-old man who climbed to the top of the Big Wheel in Belfast yesterday evening.

Halting Belfast’s Big Wheel would be a disaster for the city, it was claimed tonight.
