Default A Floral Tank - and the Real Thing!
Ashford in Kent has owned and displayed a WW1 Tank in the town centre since August 1919.

This year in commemoration of the WW1 centenary the town is also displaying a floral tank!

I used to love walking round that Tank, as a youngster.

The Luton one was broken up in the WW2 scrap metal drive, it would seem the Luton councillors were not as crafty as the Ashford ones.
