Berlin celebrating 25 years since the fall of the Wall
Celebrations to mark 25 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall have begun tonight with a stunning light display and a guest appearance from former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev.
The frontier of balloon lights, which runs around 10 miles through the German capital, will lift into the air at the end of the weekend on the official anniversary of the iconic crowd-led demolition.
The Russian-built wall to stop East Germans defecting to the West ran 97 miles and included 302 watchtowers until it fell in 1989.
