Celebrating St Patricks Day in spectacular style, the green London Eye is lighting up the London skyline in a tribute to the Emerald Isle.

Emerald green
2011 marks the second time the London Eye has turned a gorgeous shade of emerald green to celebrate St Patricks Day. Along with various other iconic landmarks, London is included in the worldwide celebrations thanks in part to the green London Eye acting as a beacon for all things Irish across the capital.
