Tower Bridge was forced to open for a giant 50 foot rubber duck floating down the Thames today.

Londoners were left confused as the giant inflatable floated from the direction of Canary Wharf.

London Tonight is informed it is to celebrate the launch of Jackpotjoy.com's new Facebook Fundation, a bursary granting funds and rewards for daft ideas to encourage Brits to have more fun.
