Sport is used to getting invaded by rowdy fans who have had a few too many pints or the odd streaker or two, but there was a surprise visitor at the World Snooker Championship today (April 22) who ruffled a few feathers.
During the afternoon session at the Crucible in Sheffield, a pigeon flew into the main arena to take a perch and have a look at the action unfolding. The moment was caught on camera inside the iconic venue as it sparked pandemonium.
The feathered friend's arrival was greeted with confusion among the crowd as they wondered what was going on. But as soon as it became clear what had happened, a few laughs broke out.
