BREAKING: Services on the Elizabeth Line have been suspended… because of a swan.
Another posted: ‘You are an absolute shambles @TfL. I cannot believe you closed the entire Elizabeth line for a swan on the tracks.The Crown retains the right of ownership of all unmarked mute swans in open water, but mainly exercises this right on certain stretches of the River Thames and its surrounding tributaries.Swans mate for life.
The Late Queen Elizabeth II only witnessed Swan Upping, the annual swan census, once, in 2009 when she was 83-years-old.The incident has, unsurprisingly, drawn comparison to the hit film Hot Fuzz, in which a village police force spends a significant amount of time and effort tracking down an escaped swan.
And in a bizarre coincidence, the trespassing swan has coincided with Buckingham Palace announcing the Swan Upping, the annual census of the mute swan population living on the River Thames, will begin on July 17.
