The invention claimed is: 1. A paving member which is installed in a hole in an area which is for being walked on, the hole being defined by adjacent edges of the area, the paving member being such that it is flush with the adjacent edges of the area, and the paving member being such that it comprises a tray-shaped rigid body portion which has four sides and a base and which enables a person to walk on the paving member in the hole, a lip which extends outwardly from the four sides and is located in a countersunk part of said adjacent edges of said area wherein said lip is level with said adjacent edges, securing means which permanently secures the paving member in a horizontal position in the hole, a surface for being walked on and which extends horizontally in the hole at a height which makes the surface level with the area for being walked on wherein a person is able to walk over the paving member and the area for being walked on without tripping, image-generating means which generates a moving image below the surface, and a source of light which illuminates the paving member, the paving member being such that the surface is made of a material which is transparent wherein the image is able to be viewed by the person walking on the surface, the moving image is viewed by the person through a major part of the surface, the image-generating means generates the moving image on a screen positioned below the surface, the screen is spaced apart from the surface wherein cooling air is able to circulate between the screen and the surface, and the screen is selected from the group consisting of a television screen, a liquid crystal display screen, a light emitting diode screen, a plasma screen, a laser-receiving screen, or a projection screen wherein the moving image viewed on the screen is a film, video or televisual image. 2. A paving member according to claim 1 in which the moving image is a hologram moving image. 3. A paving member according to claim 1 in which the transparent material is a transparent plastics material. 4. A paving member according to claim 3 in which the transparent plastics material is a clear polyacrylate material. 5. A paving member according to claim 1 in which the transparent material is glass. 6. A paving member according to claim 1 in which the surface of the paving member is a slip-retardant surface. 7. A paving member according to claim 1 in which the surface of the paving member is the upper surface of a sheet portion. 8. A paving member according to claim 7 in which the underneath surface of the sheet portion is provided with ridges. 9. A paving member according to claim 8 in which the ridges have first and second flat sides, and in which a first image is viewable on the first sides, and a second image is viewable on the second sides. 10. A paving member according to claim 1 in which the paving member is constructed as a paving member for use in pavements. 11. A paving member according to claim 1 and which is linked to remote control means for remotely changing the moving image. 12. A paving member according to claim 1 in which the image generating means is spaced apart the sides of the body portion. 13. A paving member according to claim 12 in which the image generating means is spaced apart from the base of the body portion.
