Big Ben rings in 150th birthday
A giant birthday message is to be projected on to Parliament's clock tower to mark 150 years since the first ringing of Big Ben.
The Great Bell struck its first hour on 11 July 1859 and a year of celebrations is taking place for the anniversary.
The message reading "Happy Birthday Big Ben, 150 years, 1859 - 2009," will be beamed on to the tower after sunset.
