Video: Feel the force with Leeds selfie booth

There were no airs or graces as selfie fans were snapped in the world’s first high speed photo booth.

The thrill-seeking machine batters visitors with wind speeds of up to 270 mph to create a unique wind-swept photograph.

Brave visitors who can handle the G-force results then have their images printed and emailed to them from the booth which has popped up on Briggate.

The selfie machine, which remains in Leeds today, celebrates the start of Virgin Media’s five-year £3billion extension of its fibre broadband network.

It aims to bring high speed internet to four million more homes and businesses across the country. Leeds is just the second city to benefit from the service.
