Matt, from Papcastle, Cumbria, is adamant that the feat was not faked, though he won't let on the secret of his achievement. "I can't and won't say how I did it, but plenty of people saw me and they'll confirm it wasn't a camera trick," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying. "The photos are real," he added. The apparent miracle was carried out to publicise a forthcoming charity cycle ride through towns affected by the devastating Cumbria floods, which ripped through the district two years ago.
