The Statue of Liberty, the iconic symbol of freedom, New York City and of US immigration, on Friday celebrates its 125th birthday, then closes for a year's repairs.

The event will be marked by a ceremony echoing the original Oct 28, 1886 inauguration of the monument in front of then-president Grover Cleveland.

The Statue of Liberty, created by French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, was presented to the United States as a sign of friendship from the people of France. It came to symbolise freedom - especially for immigrants, 12 million of whom passed through nearby Ellis Island as they entered the United States.
