People could not believe their eyes when a tank rolled down their street in Norwich.
Karen Gaffney came out of her home on Sunday lunchtime after hearing a loud sound on Belsize Road, at the top of Kett's Hill, to see a tank covered in purple flowers, moving through the street.
The Norwich resident said she had no idea where the tank had come from beforehand or where it ended up but shared the photo on Twitter, taken just before midday.
She said: "It's a terraced street with cars parked on both sides. There was not a lot of wriggle room.
"I do not know where it was going. What was it doing in a terraced street?
