250 twinkling candles making a picture of HM The Queen was placed by members of the Orpington community last night.
On Sunday, September 18, Orpington residents placed a candle in the shape of the Queen in Broxbourne Gardens.
The event, organised by the Knoll Residents Associations, saw 250 people pay tribute to the late Queen.
A drone photographed the candlelit tribute which organisers say could be seen from space.
Chairman of the Knoll Residents Association, Stephen Sangster said: “We really wanted to organise something that people of all backgrounds and faiths, those who are young and old, could come along to and enjoy and something that people can be actively involved in.
“By using candles, we were able to create something that was really quite special, and people came out in their hundreds on what was a drizzly, cold evening to pay their respects.”
