Pranksters mow giant penis into lawn on famous street days before Coronation party there

A grand Coronation Party is due to take place on the lawn tomorrow

Residents of Royal Crescent in Bath were stunned to see the large phallus appear on the grass outside their homes on Thursday.

The penis appeared overnight in the Somerset spa town but no-one knows why or who is responsible.

It appeared just two days before a large Coronation party is planned for the grounds of The Royal Crescent.

The street is known globally for a "perfect lawn'' surrounded by a crescent of posh homes from the 18th century.

On Saturday, the Royal Crescent is hosting a Georgian-themed 'Grand Coronation Party'.

Its flyer says: ''Celebrate the 300th anniversary of the Georgian era. ''Decorate your own regal crown, watch demonstrations on royal fashion and visit the Georgian Cook cooking up delicious recipes in the kitchen.''
