Brighton & Hove, East Sussex, UK, 04 August 2016. British Airways i360 observation tower, built on the landward end of the old West Pier in Brighton and billed as the world's thinnest tower, opened today at 14:00. All 'flights' on the opening day were fully booked, however delays of 40-60 minutes were being experienced on evening flights. The fireworks scheduled for 22:00 were also cancelled due to the barge, upon which the fireworks would've been launched, was unable to safely operate due to high winds and a storm off the coast. One of the reconstructed West Pier tollbooths can be seen.
