Determined market traders in Whitby set up their stalls around an illegally parked car that had been left for days over the Bank Holiday weekend.
The white Audi had been parked illegally in the middle of Market Place during the long weekend marking the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. It is understood the car appeared on Thursday night and didn't get collected until Saturday lunchtime.
The traders decided not to let the stranded motor get in the way of business and set up their stalls around it, Teeside Live reports. But the owner would have been in for a nasty shock when they did collect it, as a total of three parking tickets are believed to have been plastered on it.
