Watch: The Shard gets a Christmas makeover

The Shard has had a festive makeover, with the London skyscraper fitted with 575 LED panels for a Christmas lights show.

On its 87th floor, BBC London watched teams getting the building ready for the festive season. Lights covered the decks and window panes to illuminate the top of the skyscraper.

Students from the London School of Mosaic designed patterns for the light show, which teams tried to replicate on the landmark's sharp spire.
