'Like jet washing your driveway' - London Stadium gets first roof clean

If you've been close to London Stadium over the last four months you may have seen a group of hardy workers dangling 60 metres (200ft) above the ground.

They have been busy giving the roof of the venue its first clean since hosting the 2012 Olympics.

Keir McRae is one of the rope access technicians in charge of giving the roof's truss structure a sparkle.

But it's not a job for the faint hearted.

The hardest part? Getting up there.
