People are being urged to join UK landmarks and famous sites around the world as they switch off their lights for an hour tonight to back action on climate change.

Despite the terror attack in Westminster on Wednesday, the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben are joining more than 270 landmarks across the UK in switching off the lights for conservation charity WWF's Earth Hour.

Brighton Pier is also taking part.
