"Always look on the bright side of life..."

The chirpy song from the final scene of Monty Python's Life of Brian film could be heard blasting over the PA of a tug boat, putting along the Thames off the North Greenwich Peninsula this morning.

The magic moment — just the tonic for these unsettling times — was caught on camera, and posted on Twitter by @GreenwichDiary.

Whoever you are, tug boat crew: you're absolute legends.
