"One of the biggest Millennium Festival initiatives on New Year's Eve was the UK-wide Beacon Millennium Project, which saw HM the Queen lighting the world's biggest beacon in London. The giant beacon was one of a chain of 1,400 beacons lit across the country beginning in the Scottish Isles and moving down the country to include giant beacons in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast."
