The prom is a staple and much-anticipated event in the school calendar and sees students all glammed up for the end of the year occasion.

But a main feature of a prom is the wide range of extraordinary vehicles that people arrive to the venue in - whether it be flashy sports cars, classic motors, agricultural vehicles such as tractors, or even a fire engine.

And this was the case for one young couple in Shropshire who were dropped off at their prom in a fire appliance this week.
