brolly

It has been affectionately named "space brolly" for its giant 12m diameter antenna which expands outwards.

"We had brollies and I wore my dress under a coat," she adds.

"Then I bought a brolly from Amazon which said it was waterproof and was lace and was really small and I just thought yeah that's the cherry on top."

And remember, back in March there was bromance under a shared brolly when Rishi Sunak headed to Paris, for what he described as an "entente renewed" and the President said was a "reunion".

As the downpour caused the umbrella crop to sprout, the wind caused pedestrians to tighten grips on their hats and hoods as well as those brollies.
