British Teenager Shows Up to Prom in Tank

A 16-year-old boy from Swindon, England, made quite the entrance at his school’s prom on July 7, after his mother surprised him by arranging for him to ride to the dance’s venue in a tank.

Victoria Holloway recorded the moment the CVRT light tank picked up her son Zack and his friend Jake, before the pair were ferried down the A419 motorway in style.

Local media reported that Zack, who is diagnosed with Asperger’s, had a special interest in the military and had previously voiced that he would feel more comfortable commuting in a tank rather than a car. Credit: Victoria Holloway via Storyful
