"The traffic was at a standstill, and they were passing all the static cars - it was the last thing I expected to see on a Monday morning.

"I hope they were reunited with their owner as quickly as possible.”

It is understood that the horses were part of the Household Cavalry and had bolted from Hyde Park.
