London - An inflated pig has flown over London's Battersea Power Station in a recreation of Pink Floyd's famous album cover shot.
The 9m by 4.5m inflatable porker soared over the derelict Battersea Power station on Monday — an image famous from the cover of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals.
The scene was recreated to mark the release of remastered versions of Pink Floyd's 14 studio albums.
Organisers had hoped to use the original vinyl pig, which has been in storage for 35 years. But it was found to be leaky, and a replica was created instead.
There was no replay of the moment during the 1976 photo shoot when the original pig broke free of its moorings and floated into the flight path for Heathrow Airport. It was later found in a farmer's field.
