Headline UN Headquarters Lights Up in Blue to Celebrate 70th Anniversary

Caption Description UN Headquarters in New York lit up blue for two nights, beginning 23 October when the annual UN Day concert was held, and concluding on 24 October, celebrated as UN Day since 1948. Starting in New Zealand, and moving in a wave around the world, some 300 sites around the world lit themselves blue to join the global commemoration, including iconic landmarks such as Australia's Sydney Opera House to the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt and from the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro to the Empire State Building in New York. Other sites included Russia's Hermitage Museum, the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, Edinburgh Castle and Central Hall Westminster in the United Kingdom, Table Mountain in South Africa, Japan's SkyTree Tower and the Alhambra in Spain, among many others.
The UN Secretariat Headquarters building in New York City lit up in “UN Blue”.
