Your support makes all the difference.Londoners enjoying the view over the Thames were left scratching their heads after a flying car appeared in the sky over the London Bridge last night.
Well, almost.
A helicopter was seen at 7pm yesterday carrying a car which appeared to have all its lights on.
The bizarre sight caused many people to take to Twitter – capturing the flying car and a beautiful sunset over the capital in the process.
Seb Dance, MEP, wondered on Twitter what all the fuss was about, writing: “Extreme approach by one council to parking violations?”
Twitter user Brett B-Smith commented on the stunt: “So yes … Just watched a helicopter carrying a car along the Thames. Standard London evening.”
The flying vehicle was revealed to be part of a Jaguar PR stunt.
Antoniya Kuneva said on Twitter: “Only in London. A car being filmed while carried by a helicopter!”
The luxury car firm was airlifting its new XE sports salon into London as part of a global launch, premiering the £30,000 car tomorrow.
