Firefighters have rescued two people who became stuck on a big wheel.
The stricken pair were found on the 33.5m-high (110ft) observation wheel in Alexandra Gardens near Goswell Road, Windsor, on Tuesday evening.
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service said crews were sent after a call from Thames Valley Police shortly before 22:00 BST and brought the pair down by powering the wheel.
The attraction, offering views of The River Thames and Windsor Castle, has gondolas for up to six passengers and takes about 10 minutes to go round.
It makes its final trip each night at 21:00 and opened in the public garden in March and is expected to run until early September.
