Workers from the events industry turned London landmarks red on Tuesday evening (August 11), highlighting their call for government support.

The Professional Lighting and Sound Association - PLASA - is calling for grants instead of loans, furlough to be extended until the industry is back to work, and extension of the self-employment scheme.

Workers gathered on various bridges in London including Westminster Bridge and shone red lights. Hundreds of venues nationwide turned their lights red to stand with the movement.
