Commuters were brought to a standstill yesterday morning as police helped a bevy of swans cross the road.

Motorists watched as two swans and five cygnets waddled across Bath Road, in Stroud, Gloucestershire.

Officer PC Wilson helped feather the family-of-seven to the nearby canal while holding a ‘Police Slow’ traffic sign.

Another police officer was seen halting traffic along the usually busy A46, near Wallbridge.

The adventurous flock were also spotted parking up at a local Kwik Fix garage yesterday morning.

Local Steve Swan tweeted the picture with the caption: “Stroud Swan family holiday held up with puncture. Today at 9am!”
