The peak of the Statue of Liberty has been reopened to the public in New York.

The monument was closed for security reasons following the 9/11 attacks in 2001.

The foot of the statue reopened in 2004, but the spiral stairs to the statue’s crown remained closed.

Tickets are now sold out for tours until the beginning of next year.

The Statue of Liberty was designed by Gustav Eiffel, the architect who designed the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

The United States received the statue, as a gift from France, in 1886.
