Junior Up Helly Aa 2011 Torch Light Up
The street lights are killed and the signal fires to indicate it’s time for the light up to begin.
Pictured above is the torches being lit at this year’s Junior Up Helly Aa which took place at 5.30pm on Tuesday preceding the main event at 7.30pm.
The wonderful array of colours generated during the light up is amazing – defintely one of the procession highlights.
