The Eiffel Tower has celebrated its 120th anniversary with an impressive light show.

Every night for the next three months the Trocadero facade will light up with thousands of state-of-the-art LED spotlights.

The spectacular light show lasts 12 minutes, one minute for each decade it has stood in Paris.

The Eiffel tower was built in 1989 and is visited by nearly seven million people a year.
