Lighthouses are painted differently to help identification of them by the mariner during the day. The red and white stripes help them identify the lighthouse if it is up against a white background, such as cliffs or rocks. Artist submissions open: lightthesouth.co.uk/artists

Meet our first 1m mini lighthouse: Dazzle Light created by Kezia Hoffman. The design points to the historic link to Dazzle ships that were held in Southampton docks in World War One. The striking black and white patterns were thought to confuse the enemy. #lightthesouth

Did you know… The first known lighthouse was the Pharos of Alexandria, Egypt, constructed between 300 and 280 B.C. and was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. We are sure a lot has changed in their construction over their years! Image credit Wikipedia #ligththesouth

We’ve just been for a quick trip down to Town Quay with @RedFunnelFerry to scope out the ship’s Signature Lounge as a Sponsors’ Breakfast venue. It will be perfect with its fabulous views as the ship sails from Cowes to Southampton and back. lightthesouth.co.uk #lightthesouth
