Tourists were stuck in mid-air on the popular London Eye attraction for around an hour on Wednesday following a suspected terror attack outside the Houses of Parliament.
Visitors on the London Eye, a 135 metre high big wheel, were later evacuated after the attack, in which a police officer was stabbed and the suspected assailant shot.

The London Eye has a clear view over the area.
“At present we are holding all of our guests within our attractions as per tried and tested security procedures,” the attraction said on its Twitter page.
