A Churchill tank that was made at the Vauxhall factory in Luton has gone on display in the town this weekend as part of VE Day celebrations.
The 38-ton Mark III tank, transported from The Tank Museum in Dorset and owned by The Churchill Trust, has gone on show in St George's Square.
In May 1940 during World War Two, Vauxhall Motors stopped making cars and dedicated its production line to the Churchill tank.
Andy King, from Save Our Town, which has supported the event, said it was "important to tell the untold stories of how Luton's industrial heritage played such a vital role in the Allied victory".
Mr King added: "Save Our Town is delighted to see the Churchill tank return home to Luton for this special occasion."
After the retreat from Dunkirk in France in June 1940, the British Army only had 100 tanks left.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill asked for the new tank to be ready for production by March 1941, with the first seeing service in 1942.
