Canary Wharf turned cool yesterday when a master artist carved out a royal sculpture to kick off this year’s ice festival.

Sculptor Asamiga Amerasinghe launched the 4th annual event at Canary Wharf by carving out an emblem to commemorate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

The festival runs until tomorrow, when the doubles and singles championships will be held.
