Onlookers were shocked as a parked car erupted into a raging inferno as they enjoyed an evening of festivities in Pinner, Middlesex.

Hundreds were out and about to enjoy the Pinner Panto – one of the key events on the village’s calendar.

Police and firefighters rushed to the scene as video shows the vehicle on fire as officers clear the street.
