Last Sunday was the RICOH Lord Mayor’s Appeal Hot Air Balloon Regatta. Forty-eight hot-air balloons took off from south London's Burgess Park just before 5am, then drifted east over the city.
We were lucky enough to be on board – check out our video of the hot air balloon flight above. On the ground, meanwhile, some of you early birds glimpsed your own view...
