The iconic Spinnaker Tower, in Portsmouth, has joined other UK landmarks - and those around the world - in sending a message of support to Ukraine, after the Russian invasion.

On Thursday night, buildings were bathed in yellow and blue, the colours of the country's flag.

Number 10, Downing Street led the tributes for the UK and the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Rome's Colosseum and a station in Melbourne were among other locations to take part.

On the south coast, the colours were visible from the Isle of Wight as they bathed Portsmouth's Spinnaker Tower.
