Camel surprises Chipping Norton to promote Aladdin panto

People were left rubbing their eyes with bemusement as a camel and its magnificent Arabian rider sauntered through Chipping Norton this morning (Monday, October 29).

The camel was led along Spring Street, across the A44 New Street and up onto High Street, where it was filmed walking past the shops to be used as part of Chipping Norton Theatre's pantomime Aladdin.

Lots of people took photos and came out of the shops and businesses to take a look at the unusual sight, provided by Joseph's Amazing Camels, based near Shipston.
