Student night promoters at a city nightclub have hired a 17-ton tank to promote an army-themed night.

Get Onit events are on the streets of the city from 11am today (Wednesday, September 30) selling wristbands for the Chester Freshers Army Night at Rosies and offering people the chance to have a picture taken on the personnel carrier.

Tonight clubbers will be able to get a ride in the world's only road legal vehicle of its kind - made into a 'limo' version out of two original tanks - from The Bouverie pub in Chester's Garden Quarter to Off the Wall and Rosies.

Tony Chester tweeted us this video of the tank:

If you've had your picture taken on the tank tweet us your picture to @ChesterChron
