The move has been planned for 18 months, and for the past ten weeks, engineers have been preparing for the operation to move the 1,000-tonne tower in one piece.

Hjørring Municipality estimates up to 25,000 tourists will visit for the occasion.
The lighthouse is being moved 70m at a top speed of 8m/hr.
