Celebrations as Sydney Harbour Bridge turns 75
Tens of thousands of Australians thronged the Sydney Harbour Bridge this weekend, to mark the 75th birthday of the iconic landmark which has come to represent the city to millions around the world. An estimated 200,000 people were expected to walk the 503 metres (1,660 feet) across the bridge, which was the biggest of its kind in the world when it opened on March 19, 1932.
Officials said that by late afternoon on Sunday, almost 100,000 people had crossed the structure, which spans Sydney from north to south.The event brought much of the city to a standstill and involved a heavy police presence, but the crowds were well behaved and public transport was running well.
