  Love the photo today and every day. My wife spent months working and playing in Newcastle and fell in love with your fair city. Thank you for helping the world stay in touch!

  It is magnificent. I have often stood in awe and wondered how they managed to build that wonderful lantern tower all those hundreds of years ago.

  Just a wee note, the only other Lantern Tower in the UK is located in Scotland, Edinburgh to be precise.

  Me, I am full of useless knowledge.

  The Tower used to guide the ships up the Tyne, when the Tyne was much wider and the Cathedral nearer,or so I was told.

  Mrs.K, I was just thinking that the cathedral tower looked very familiar, very much like the cathedral tower in Edinburgh…it is a lovely lantern tower indeed.
