Their job is a unique one and still very relevant today.
Ahead of the coronation of King Charles, the remaining lamplighters had a special task, to turn one lamp into a shining jewel in its own right.

Four killed by tornadoes in Florida, as governor warns of more Hurricane Milton flooding | BBC News
Florida residents are being warned not to visit areas hit by Hurricane Milton, after it brought tornadoes, floods, and storm surges to the state.
Four people were killed by tornadoes on the state’s east coast in St Lucie County.
More than three million homes and businesses are without power, while Governor Ron DeSantis says more flooding is expected in coming days.
In St Petersburg, on the west coast, the water supply has been cut, a crane crashed into a newspaper building, and the roof of a Major League Baseball stadium was ripped off.
Some parts of the state are having 1-in-1000 year amounts of rain.

Lebanese officials say 22 people have been killed and 117 others injured in Israeli airstrikes on central Beirut yesterday evening.
There was no warning issued before the strikes which hit residential buildings in two densely packed neighbourhoods in Bachoura – a small Shia area in the capital.
This is the third time Israel has launched air strikes on the city outside of the suburb of Dahieh, where it has struck repeatedly.
Media outlets, quoting security sources, suggest the apparent target, Wafiq Safa, survived. Safa is a high-ranking Hezbollah official and close ally of Hezbollah’s former long-term leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Neither the Israeli military nor Hezbollah’s media office have commented.

Doesn't seem that authentic when you walk up to a bloke lighting the lamp and realizing he has a British gas jumper on 😂😂

I remember when electric lighting was introduced to the residential streets of Edinburgh in the late 1950's, the soft greenish glow of the gas lamps was replaced by a bright yellow glare from what I understood to be "sodium lamps" which were painful to look at directly. Those were replaced in their turn.
