Cloud shaped like Britain appears at iconic UK site during Jubilee holiday

A photographer captured the remarkable Jubilee weekend moment a cloud formed the perfect outline of the British isles - over one of Britain's most iconic structures. Robert Browne snapped the formation over Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge, which was built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1864.

He said: "I thought it looks a bit like England and Great Britain. It’s a very strange coincidence. It’s almost like all the stars have come into an alignment just before the Jubilee. It’s an odd and strange coincidence."

Brits have been enjoying a mammoth four-day bank holiday weekend as The Queen marks 70 years on the throne. Saturday will see the the Platinum Party at the Palace.

Across the country, the royal family met well-wishers celebrating the Jubilee, with the Earl and Countess of Wessex visiting Northern Ireland and the Princess Royal at the Epsom Derby with her family.

Derby Day is missing the Queen, who has suffered a recurrence of her mobility problems, but jockey Frankie Dettori said she would be watching on television.

The Prince of Wales and Duke of Cambridge will take to the stage to pay tribute to the Queen during the star-studded Jubilee concert being staged in the front of Buckingham Palace on Saturday evening.

Diana Ross, Queen and Adam Lambert, Alicia Keys, Hans Zimmer, George Ezra, and Eurovision 2022 runner-up Sam Ryder are among the celebrity acts preparing to entertain a live crowd of 22,000 people and a television audience of millions.
