A giant model of the capital's 17th century skyline will be set alight on the River Thames on Sunday (September 4).

The spectacular conflagration of the painstakingly constructed 120ft model is the highlight of a series of events marking 350 years since the Great Fire of London reduced the city to cinders.

Here's all you need to know about the burning of the statue and other major commemorative events being held over the weekend.

The 120m long model will be set alight on the Thames between Blackfriars Bridge and Waterloo Bridge on Sunday (September 4) at 8.30pm. The fire is expected to burn for around 45 minutes.

The fire is free to watch and entry to the main vantage point opens at 6pm, but organisers have warned that capacity is limited.

The London 1666 installation, featuring around 190 miniature buildings, was designed by American artist David Best.

If you can't make it down in person, you can watch a live stream of the fire online.

Don't worry, the London landmark which famously survived the Blitz is safe.

But its famous dome will appear to be engulfed by flames projected onto the building on Saturday and Sunday evenings, from dusk to 11pm.

The National Theatre's facade will also become a giant screen on both evenings as it depicts images of the "metaphorical fires" which have shaped the capital over the years.

Fires Ancient and Fires Modern, as the pieces are respectively entitled, are the work of artist Martin Firrell.
