Indian colours, peacock light up the Buckingham Palace

Date:

Buckingham Palace was illuminated with an image of a peacock – the national bird of India and numerous dancing figures. Buckingham Palace was lit to celebrate UK-India Year of Culture.

Alan Gemmell, British Council India director, said: “It isn’t every day that you have the opportunity to project an image onto the façade of Buckingham Palace. The peacock, both regal and dramatic, is the perfect metaphor for a year of incredible cultural events connecting UK and India.”
