At 8pm this evening (26 March), the UK will become a beacon of blue as entertainment and sporting venues, historic buildings and national landmarks across the country will be illuminated as a ‘salute to the NHS’ and to commend the courageous efforts of the UK’s healthcare professionals.
Participating sites include the Royal Albert Hall, the Belfast Titanic Signature Building, Lincoln Cathedral, The National Theatre, Metro Radio in Newcastle.
The #lightitblue campaign has been organised by a group of leaders from the event and entertainment industry to show a display the gratitude felt for those working tirelessly to look after those who are ill with Covid-19.
All #lightitblue venues will use existing LED technology to create a flash of blue on facades and screens to ensure the campaign adheres to the current guidelines from the British Government for people to stay at home.
The #lightitblue campaign was started by Gary White, managing director of White Productions and freelance production manager, Chuck Crampton.
