Piccadilly Circus to screen live Periscope Rugby World Cup broadcast
Piccadilly Circus is to play host to a live 2015 Rugby World Cup broadcast marking 100-days to go until kick-off of the sporting event.
Prince Harry will join England stars Jonny Wilkinson & Will Greenwood for the Twickenham ceremony at 11:10 this morning, with the Prince leading a number of short speeches in front of fans.
From there the Webb Ellis Cup will be placed in a specially commissioned jeep before beginning a UK trophy tour and concluding the 15-20 minute broadcast.
Screened live on Periscope and Twitter as well as the iconic billboard fans will be invited to pose questions to Wilkinson directly using the hashtag #AskJonny once they have finished watching.
Not only will this be the first time that a Periscope video stream has been displayed on this scale but it is the first ever Periscope to be launched by the official @rugbyworldcup account.
