The Sultan's Elephant

A spaceship landed in London on Thursday. What did it contain? We waited with bated breath. Answer: a 16ft marionette of a young girl who is being sought by a sultan on his mechanical elephant! White slaver? Girl and elephant met on Saturday as part of a spectacular four-day street theatre created by French arts company Royal de Luxe. Congratulations to Shehani Fernando, who scooped Getty and AP by catching the girl emerging from her spaceship. This is the only amateur photo in BBC News website's top 8 images of the event. BBC London has appealed for more photos and they're coming in; click the title link to see them and a map of the event. Sunday is the last day. What will the Sultan do with his schoolgirl astronaut now that he's found her? So far the crowds are loving it...
