This Saturday, lights across all seven continents of the globe will be turned off in support of WWF’s Earth Hour, to call on action to be taken on climate change. This year major landmarks all over the world will be shutting off their lights at 8.30pm local time, including the Eiffel Tower, The Empire State Building and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. Earth Hour is supported by scores of politicians and celebrities such as Boris Johnson, Alexandra Burke, Paloma Faith and, er, Danielle Lineker.

After initially expecting to get only a few support slots, they stepped out of the huge 14 month tour to concentrate on their 15-date UK tour.
