Commuters are used to being delayed but an unusual excuse was made for late running rush hour service this morning - baby llamas on the track.

The animals normally more at home in the Andes were spotted roaming about the tracks in Kent on around 8.39am.

The llamas seen on the track between Hildenborough and Sevenoaks and a driver of the train announced the reason for the delay.

Southeastern trains between the two stations were warned to avoid the camelids and slow down as they passed through.

Operator Southeastern tweeted: "Trains being cautioned between Hildenborough & Sevenoaks due to sightings of llamas on the line."

But Twitter users have humorously taken to social media to share their best puns in response to the delays.
