A patriotic poppy seller has transformed his mobility scooter into a tank ahead of Remembrance Day - complete with tracks, a gun and mini rockets.

Eddie Wadsworth, 85, spent "many hours" creating his own version of an armoured vehicle out of disused cardboard boxes and other recycled materials.

The grandfather-of-two has even added military music to the tank as he drives around his home town raising funds for the Royal British Legion in the town of Swadlincote, central England.

Eddie also painted the wooden-framed vehicle in camouflage green and brown and it comes complete with a turret and working doors, costing just £7 in total to make.
