Mystery man in giant rabbit suit stands on bridge at the start of every month to wave at motorists

THE mysterious sight of a giant white bunny has been appearing at a bridge in London on the first day of every month to wave at drivers.

Motorists have been confused for months by the 6ft rabbit, dressed in a colourful waistcoat and scarf, which waves and makes the peace sign at people.

After spotting the bunny in Barnes, west London, passerby Sarah Travers tweeted: "What on earth was this white rabbit doing at 8am this morning on the terrace?"

But now the man behind the bunny has been unmasked.

The rabbit is in fact a project by a performance artist called Spike McLarrity who started popping up at Barnes bridge in November last year.

He said: "Happy first of the month. Some nice interactions this morning, one woman came up and wanted a photograph as no one believed her last month when she saw me, and a gent with his dog got me to hold his dog.

"Take time to breath, enjoy the beauty of the misty days, the unknown, the adventure that awaits you every day throughout this month of November."

A nan was surprised by a good deed from her grandson earlier this year.

He used a car radio trick to give his Nan the best birthday surprise ever has gone viral, with more than 80,000 people watching his heartwarming video.

86-year-old grandma Iris Howard goes through a whole whirlwind of emotions in the touching clip – which shows her cry with laughter.
