London says its prayers as nuns swarm the streets on their mopeds

Many drivers did a double take in central London today as a convent of nuns on their mopeds swarmed the roads. Flying past iconic London landmarks like Big Ben and the London Eye at rush hour, the group of five was led by actress Lorna Watson. The star plays the leading role in Sister Boniface Mysteries and took part in the flash mob-style stunt to rejoice in the launch of the second series. Dressed in traditional Catholic nun robes as they rode vintage Vespas, the stunt was straight out of the fictional town of 1960s Great Slaughter.
