Cloud shaped like a horse and rider seen just days after Queen's death

A man has snapped a picture of a cloud shaped like a horse and rider - and says he believes famed equestrian fan the Queen could be "behind it". Eki Eguae, 37, spotted the cloud while on his way back from the shops near his home in Wembley, north London last night (Sunday).

He noticed the perfectly shaped cloud just days after the passing of the Queen - well known as a horse enthusiast. The late monarch's coffin began its journey from the Balmoral estate to the English capital yesterday, where it will lie in state before her funeral.

And Eki, who showed the cloud picture to his colleagues, said he couldn't help but think that the Queen was looking over London. The enthusiastic cloudspotter and night guard said: "At first I hadn't thought about the Queen. But later I was thinking about the fact that she was so enthusiastic about horse racing, and while talking to my colleagues we were all saying it felt like she was behind it.

"It was a really strange to see it, the cloud just looked so perfectly like a horse with someone riding it. I was just amazed when I spotted it, I quite like seeing what shapes some clouds look like but this one was just so distinctive."
