Runaway Hearse

Yesterday I saw a runaway hearse (really).

I was going down to the traffic lights at the bottom of Furness Road when I heard the sound of horses' hooves. A hearse drawn by two black horses sans occupant or driver then trotted past.   I assume something scared the horses.

I crossed over to wait at the bus stop, and then observed two undertakers in hot pursuit.  One stopped a passing car, and asked to be driven in pursuit of the now disappeared hearse.  The driver obliged.  I assume that the hearse belonged to James Crook and was intended for Kensal Green Cemetary.

Not something you see every day.
