O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, how lovely are thy... tanks?

The oldest tank regiment in the world has come together to form its very own Christmas tree with a difference – it is completely made of tanks.

To send festive wishes back home, the Royal Tank Regiment – currently based in Estonia – led British, French and Estonian tanks in creating their very own red and green 'tree'.

The Ministry of Defence shared a photo of the creation on Twitter, writing: "Thank you to all those deployed overseas and away from their families over Christmas."
