Landmarks in cities around the world were turning off their lights at 8:30pm local time to mark Earth Hour on Saturday. In Berlin, lights went off at the Brandenburg Gate, while in Rome people watched as the lights were switched off at the Colosseum.

The event, started by the World Wildlife Fund charity, encourages people to switch off electric lights for an hour a day and is held to show support for the planet and to raise awareness about environmental issues.
