You may know that today is Star Wars Day.
May 4th is the significant date because it is a play on words of the famous quote “May the Force be with you”.
Film fans across the world are celebrating the occasion by watching the movies and dressing up.
And it seems that Heathrow Airport staff wanted to get involved as they paid homage to the George Lucas franchise with an amusing sign.
