Harrison Ford's body double was seen on horseback during filming of a lively parade scene for Indiana Jones 5 in Glasgow on Thursday.

The body double, who bears a striking resemblance to the Hollywood actor, 79, joined hundreds of extras as the Scottish city has been transformed into Manhattan for the blockbuster, which is set during the 1960s space race. 

He was seen with black dots on his face, known as tracking markers, which help the visual effects team attach an actor to CGI software that can manipulate their appearance.

Harrison has been forced to take a break from filming for three months as he recovers from a shoulder injury sustained on set, yet his body double has been working hard in his place. 

The double donned a grey blazer and matching trousers for the scene along with a white shirt.  

The streets were filled with elaborate floats that carried female extras posing as beauty pageant contestants celebrating Apollo 11, the spaceflight that first landed humans on the moon in 1969.

Creating a scene of American patriotism, US flags could be seen hanging from shops while red, white and blue balloons lined the streets.

A group of marchers in kilts could be seen leading the procession while there were also dozens of men dressed in white sailor costumes.

They could be seen carrying drums and horns for the celebrations while at one point the street was also lined with confetti.  

Some extras appeared to be dressed as cheerleaders, donning red tops with blue mini skirts with white hats and multi-coloured pompoms. 

A group appeared to be rehearsing the Apollo 11 parade scene earlier in the week.

To create a true American feel, even the Scottish traffic lights were temporarily replaced with bright yellow ones for authenticity.

Director James Mangold was also spotted in the city visiting the set and assessing the progress of the set building which took place on Tuesday. 

Inside The Magic reported earlier this year that the latest film will be set during the 1960s space race.

The Illuminerdi reports that Harrison will take on villain Mads Mikkelsen, a Nazi scientist enlisted into NASA by the United States government to work on the space agency’s moon landing initiative.

Indiana Jones 5 director James Mangold also hinted at a Sixties theme when he tweeted back in January: 'I'm mentally living in 60's NYC right now cause that's where all the movies I'm working on take place'.

A sixties release would fit with the franchise timeline, as the last movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was set in 1957. 

The floats were adorned with various messages, including 'A giant leap for mankind!' and 'Welcome Apollo 11 astronauts'.

Extras dressed as New York City police officers could also been pretending to keep control of the crowds.

Harrison has been forced to delay filming for the new film for three months due to an injury but production for the upcoming blockbuster appears to still be full steam ahead.

Despite sparking fears he may require surgery to fix his shoulder injury, Harrison already seems to be well on the road to recovery as he headed out for a walk for his birthday.

On Tuesday morning the actor was spotted grabbing lunch in Selfridges where he delighted one lucky fan.

The icon was without his shoulder sling which he had been wearing following the injury he sustained on the set just three weeks ago.

Harrison took off his green mask and bent down to pose with the mother of writer and The Significance Of R blogger Marie at the deli counter of Selfridges in London.
