Londoners spotted this ship on the Thames near Tower Bridge, playing the iconic Imperial March theme from the Star Wars trilogies, otherwise recognisable as the Darth Vader music.

But it wasn’t coming from a galaxy far, far away - it was a German Navy ship, in London for training and a supply stop.

A spokesperson from the German Navy told the BBC the music had "no deeper message" and "the commander can choose the music freely".
