A huge World Expo is due to open in Shanghai, China in May.

The theme of the trade show will be "Better City - Better Life" and aims to showcase Shanghai as a major world financial and cultural centre.

The UK's contribution to the Expo is a Pavilion designed by Thomas Heatherwick, whose centrepiece "Seed Cathedral" is a six-storey cube-like structure, pierced by some 60,000 transparent acrylic rods which quiver in the breeze.

The BBC's Chris Hogg had an advance look round.
