London Eye sets pulses racing tonight
01 Feb 2010
Launching the British Heart Foundation’s National Heart Month
The Merlin Entertainments London Eye showed London’s true heart as it turned red and for the first time ever pulsed to launch National Heart Month for the British Heart Foundation (BHF), the nation’s heart charity.
The big switch on was attended by rock royalty, Rick Parfitt of Status Quo who himself had a heart bypass two years ago.
The London Eye led the way with 30 landmarks turning red across the UK: from the Eden Project in Cornwall, to Nottingham Castle, to the Squinty Bridge in Glasgow. The UK went red to launch National Heart Month.
Support the BHF in fighting the UK’s biggest killer¹ by wearing red on National Wear Red Day on Friday 26 February 2010.
