Abbie joined her dad for a VIP trip on the Eye
|
The London Eye has had its 25 millionth visitor, seven years after opening.
The milestone at the 450ft-high central London attraction was reached when tourist Steve Harland arrived.
Mr Harland, from Didcot, Oxfordshire, and his daughter Abbie, three, were given a special VIP ride and other perks including a magnum of champagne.
The Eye's managing director David Sharpe said: "Thanks to the support of Londoners and visitors, we have managed to exceed our greatest expectations."
He added: "Just before the turn of this century, we were a mere concept.
"Today we have become a global icon, a contemporary symbol for modern Britain and have changed London's skyline forever."
