DARTH Vader was spotted paddleboarding along the river in Windsor.

To celebrate all things Stars Wars on May 4, artist Richard Symonds shared a video of him in his costume sailing across the water on Twitter.

Explaining it was a childhood dream of his to do something like this, he said everyone got behind him and supported him on the day.

He saw families wave at him and said there were smiles all round, including his own under the mask.
