Germany celebrate a quarter of a century after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the border between West and East has been lit up by 8,000 glowing balloons.
The bright orbs are part of the lightborder - art project, which has seen the balloons mark the dividing line that separated West and East Berlin for nearly 30 years.
Marc Bauder, who designed the art installation with his brother, Christopher Bauder, said: 'We wanted to counter this ominous, heavy structure with something light.
'Remembrance belongs to the people.'
A total of 138 people were killed along the Berlin wall from 1961 until 1989 as they tried to flee, some just months before peaceful protests opened the border.
