Call 99
Ice cream man Jamie Campbell serves from the world’s first amphibious ice cream van, called the HMS Flake 99, as it passes St Stephen’s Tower next to the Houses of Parliament on the River Thames in London, to mark National Ice Cream Week, which ends this weekend.
It chimes Rod Stewart’s classic We Are Sailing as it makes its way through the water at a sedate five knots.
Yorkshire holidaymakers may have already seen the customised craft complete its maiden voyage within sight of the famous Blackpool Tower on Monday and there are plans for it to travel even further afield – with Venice one of the stops being considered.
The craft was specially commissioned by Fredericks, makers of Cadbury’s ice cream.
