Huge Cruise Ship passes through Tower Bridge, London - 24/8/2019

During a recent visit to London, we were lucky enough to witness a really quite large cruise ship, the Silver Wind, passing through the raised bridge decks of the world famous Tower Bridge.
Some sequences have been speeded up slightly to minimise boredom! This process meant that titling and transitions were mostly unavailable in the editing.
