Smoke is seen rising from a London amphibious vehicle in the distance after dozens of tourists on board leapt into the river Thames to escape.

The London Fire Brigade said 30 people were rescued from the water but no-one was seriously hurt.

Flames and smoke engulfed the Second World War-era vehicle near the houses of Parliament on Sunday.

The damaged vessel known as a Duck was later towed away.

The cause of the fire isn't yet clear.
