Seymour & Lerhn associate, Charlie, said: “The fantastic thing about VR is you can take part in something that few people will ever experience.

“600 million people around the world watched Apollo 11 land on the Moon 50 years ago, but this virtual tour allows you to see what those three astronauts experienced as they touched down and the experiments they conducted in the day they were there.”

The Apollo 11 tour is free-to-access for everyone to enjoy and subscribers can sign up to experience a look around the lunar lander.

“The Apollo 11 tour is available from July 1 and we encourage all ages to enjoy the closest thing we'll get to visiting the moon.”
