Almost astral,
The lights along the bridge,
Leading our path
Across the Thames
South to North along
The Golden Jubilee Bridge
Turned royal purple
In the night
For our queen.
There are two Golden Jubilee Bridges each flanking the Hungerford Railway Bridge which carries trains from Charring Cross on the north side of the Thames to Waterloo Station and the London Eye on the south. The bridges are only 4 metres wide and are pedestrian bridges constructed in 2002 and named in honour of Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee. At night they are lit usually by a purple light.
