My dad turned 60 today. As a tribute, my brother hatched a plan to send him messages from across London.
Armed with a large spotlight, a gobo (a lighting stencil), a generator and a team of four we set out to send him messages from across London.
The following is the result of 8 hours work on Friday night and NO, we did not use Photoshop.
Pumping Station - Dad helped save the resevoirs attached to this building and ensured they were kept as a wildlife reserve and a recreation lake.
Hackney Town Hall - Peter served as a councillor for 8 years reforming and fighting for Hackney.
.
Parliament - As a lobby correspondent for Reuters , parliament was his home for 3 years. 45 seconds after lighting this up we were surrounded by 7 members of the Met and cauntioned under the Prevention of Terrorism act.
.
Millbank Tower - This photo is next to Thames house - MI5 and also attracted the attention of the Met.
.
Highbury - Dad took us as Junior Gunners to Highbury and we returned the favour this time.
.
City Hall and greetings from Ken!
.
Tate Modern - Part of the cityscape Dad loves.
.
National Theatre - It was great watching the faces of late night revellors at the bus shelter

Battersea Power Station - Dad worked for MacAlpine before University and helped build a power station in the Midands.
