Easy enough...............

I spent many a day climbing over that when I was a child and now my sons get to when we get to visit.

Ward park, bangor.

Years ago this cannon was painted pink the night before remembrance day, the cenotaph statue behind also had a pink bikini painted on it at the same time. You can just imagine the reaction.....great days.
