London not really on fire, just a replica

BBC story here



From the article:

A giant wooden replica of 17th century London has been set ablaze on the River Thames in a retelling of the Great Fire of London 350 years ago.

Crowds gathered on the banks of the Thames to watch the 120-metre long model go up in flames.

But it was more like a "stick representation" -- the buildings they made had no walls so you could see the shapes of the edifices more clearly. Very dramatic!
