		</div><p>The Eiffel Tower has grown by by nearly 20ft (six metres) after engineers hoisted a new communications antenna at the very top of the monument in the French capital.</p>
<p>Tourists watched from the Trocadero esplanade as the new digital radio antenna was taken up by helicopter.</p>
<p>With the installation of the new antenna, the Eiffel Tower grew from 1,063ft (324 metres) tall to 1,083ft (330 metres).</p>
<p>The Eiffel Tower company’s president, Jean-Francois Martins, told The Associated Press that scientific progress is an integral part of the Iron Lady’s 133-year history.</p>
<p>“It’s a historical moment this morning, because the Eiffel Tower is getting higher, which is not so common,” he said.</p>
<p>“From the invention of the radio at the beginning of the 20th century to right now, decades after decades, the Eiffel Tower has been a partner for all the radio technology,” Mr Martins said.</p>
<p>The Eiffel Tower was 1,024ft (312 metres) high when it was inaugurated on March 31 1889.</p>
