Giant beach ball bounces around London after storm
Commuters in London braving the St Jude Day Storm were stunned to see a 10-metre beach ball that had broken free from a building near Old Street station.
The ball is believed to have spent around half an hour bouncing around the roundabout and being photographed by surprised Londoners.
Twitter user Bernard Yu posted a photo of the ball and wrote: "Old Street Roundabout at 6.45 this morning...beach ball on the loose".

Islington Council officials eventually speared the ball, Metro reported.
It was supposed to symbolise the CO2 emissions a new £200million development would reduce.
