The Angel of the North, Britain's largest sculpture, has been lit up for the first time since it was built 10 years ago. Antony Gormley's sculpture in Gateshead was this week bathed in white light to celebrate its 10th birthday. It was last lit up in 1998 to celebrate its installation. At the beginning the Angel was criticised by those who thought it would cause accidents by distracting the motorist driving on the busy A1, but is now a well-loved landmark.
