Cillian Murphy was filmed riding a horse while filming scenes for the Peaky Blinders film in Birmingham.

The city's famous heart of the canal network, usually bustling with revellers, was shut down while film crews transformed the area into a gritty wartime film set.

Yesterday (Mon) fans saw Cillian reprising his role as Tommy Shelby, with the 48-year-old Irish actor donning the gangster's trademark flatcap.

The Oscar winner could also be seen with fake blood trickling down his cheek while wearing what appeared to be a heavily mud-stained jacket and suit.
