We have Liftoff !
Yes, here is the top half of the Cupola on its way to the roof-top to once more take pride and place on the roof.
Almost there, just a small adjustment and it's done.
Look at the sun you would think it was celebrating that it was back.
Perfect! well done lads.
Look how majestic the Cupola is once more back in place to watch over the town.
This lets you see up close the craftmanship that went into restoring the Cupola. Soon the roles will be reversed, instead of the Barbican Gate looking down on the Cupola, it will once more be looking up!
All set for lift off.
