London theatre lights dimmed in tribute to Natasha Richardson

THEATRES in London’s West End dimmed their lights for two minutes last night mirroring Broadway’s tribute to actress Natasha Richardson, who died following a skiing accident.

Lights at 52 major venues in the British capital went down just before curtain-up, the Society of London Theatre said.

Last night 45-year-old Richardson’s grieving husband Liam Neeson watched as New York’s theatre district turned down its illuminations in a mark of respect for the acclaimed actress.
