The images have been picked up by multiple news outlets. We have reached out to Adele's management to seek confirmation that it was in fact her.

Tom Maughan, 26, was at the scene and told BuzzFeed News: "She was so nice. She was with her husband, she was going round talking to people."She said, 'Is everyone okay, are the dogs okay?'"
