(32 minutes later)
Five Household Cavalry horses unseated their riders after being spooked by noise from a building site near Buckingham Palace this morning, an Army spokesman told the BBC. Central London has now quietened down following this morning's scenes. Here's what we know so far:
All the horses have now been recovered but during their high-speed run through London several are believed to have collided with vehicles. Four people have been taken to hospital after five runaway horses raced through central London
We do not yet have details of how badly injured any of the horses are. Noise from a building site in Belgravia startled the horses and caused them to bolt, unseating the riders
The horses are "working horses" and belong to the Household Cavalry - they were preparing to be inspected ahead of reheasals for the King's birthday parade, which is due to take place in June
The horses collided with traffic in several locations and some ran as far as Limehouse in east London
All five horses now have been recovered, but we are still waiting for more information on their condition and the condition of the four injured people
We'll keep bringing you updates.
