'World's strongest man drove me to prom in a tank'

Molly Goodwin got a lift with Eddie Hall to the event at Uttoxeter Racecourse

It doesn't get much better than arriving at your prom in a tank - especially when a former world's strongest man is driving.

But that's what happened to Molly Goodwin when Eddie Hall drove her to the event at Uttoxeter Racecourse on 5 July.

Stoke-on-Trent's Mr Hall - who became the world's strongest in 2017 - used to work for Molly's dad in Market Drayton and she was over the moon when he agreed to drive her to the event.

"Everyone was just shocked, some didn't know what to say, they got their cameras out," Molly said.

Mum Katie, said it's a memory that will be talked about in the family for years.

"We were very grateful and couldn't believe it, we were just over the moon," she said.

"It's a highlight and will be memorised forever."

Climbing into the vehicle in a dress and heels was a challenge for Molly, but she almost found it a comfortable way to get to her big night.

"You stand on a tiny seat on a metal pole but because I was in heels I was wobbling everywhere, but you just have to hold on," she said.

"[Eddie] is the most loveliest person you'll ever meet, he's so kind.

"He made an effort to take pictures with everyone at the prom as well."
