Traders angry with plans for a residents' parking zone in Bristol have driven a 1942 Sherman tank around the streets of Clifton in protest.

Mayor George Ferguson wants to roll out the city-wide scheme to deter commuter parking on residential streets.

Organiser Tony Miles said they had chosen a tank because it represented a way of "defending your territory".

On learning about the protest, Mr Ferguson tweeted: "This is getting ridiculous".
