A large inflatable pig flew above London’s Battersea Power Station on Monday in a stunt designed to mark the reissue of British band Pink Floyd’s 14 studio albums by record label EMI Music.
The animal, measuring 30 feet long and 15 feet high, was inflated with helium at dawn for the event, held 35 years after the making of the album cover for Animals featuring a similar flying pig.
