Standing atop the London Eye dressed in a Milk Tray man outfit and waving at a crowd gathered below, he was as evident as the huge wheel. Seconds later he made the ultimate spectacle of himself by leaping from the 443 ft wheel and parachuting to the ground as passers-by looked on in awe. Gary Connery managed to carry off his breathtaking stunt without being spotted by the eight security guards on duty.

Father of two, Connery managed to sneak onto the base of the central London wheel. After reaching the top, he unfastened himself and signalled to his family, friends and photographers watching below before hurling himself off.
