Hadrian's Wall lit up by volunteers in 'line of light'

Advertisement

Hadrian's Wall has been lit from end to end by a team of 500 volunteers holding flaming torches.

The "line of light" follows an 84-mile (135km) national walking trail, which shadows the route of the Roman wall spanning northern England.

Volunteers, each holding a gas-powered beacon, stood at 820ft (250m) intervals.

Steph Lloyd reports.
