Man converts mobility scooter into Coca Cola van for Christmas

This year is the first that many Christmas events have been able to return since before the pandemic. And children's entertainer Chris "Roly" Gibbins has taken that opportunity to do something a little different.

Always one to think out of the box, Chris, who is playing a "rock n roll elf who has lost his Christmas spirit" this December, wanted to come up with a unique and fun prop to use alongside his character. What did he come up with?

A mobility scooter that has been transformed into a replica of the famous Coca Cola van. Chris, from Pontypridd who owns Roly Poly Entertainments said: "I came up with the idea for the show and I thought it would be good to go alongside it, and it is honestly brilliant. I did the parade in Treorchy on the weekend and kids absolutely loved it. We have seen thousands of children so far and I'm attending more parades over the next month.
