Parts of the UK's Big Ben were revealed as workers began removing the scaffolding that has covered it since its restoration.

More of the newly restored spire will be revealed over the next five weeks.

The tower, a Grade-1 UNESCO World Heritage Site, is just over halfway through a four-year conservation project, which is due for completion in 2021.
