Royal wedding 2018: Moment passenger jet 'photobombs' police helicopter above Windsor crowds
This is the moment an Aer Lingus passenger plane inadvertently "photobombed" a police helicopter camera that was filming a bird's-eye view of the royal wedding crowds.
Footage filmed by the National Police Air Service showed an aerial view of the crowds at Windsor before the plane whizzed into view.
NPAS Benson tweeted the footage with the caption: “...That awkward moment where you're innocently scanning crowd numbers around the Royal wedding and a plane several thousand feet BELOW us scares me for a split second!”
Eagle-eyed viewers of the clips spotted that it was an Aer Lingus plane.
Photo bombed by Aer Lingus. 😂😂😂😂

One man named Rob Soanes questioned why the palace was built so close to Heathrow.
To which another person said: “Convenience. The queen likes a week in Majorca like the rest of us..”
