Locals have slammed a "selfish" driver who blocked a Fenland war memorial on VE Day with their car.
Residents took aim after the car was parked within metres of the Wisbech War Memorial during an event to commemorate the 80th anniversary of victory in Europe.
Mayor of Wisbech Sidney Imafidon issued a plea to the driver on Facebook an hour before the event was due to start, but the vehicle was not moved.
Cllr Imafidon said: "Please be more considerate when parking in Wisbech and do not park outside our war memorials including the Thomas Clarkson memorial.
"We are lucky enough to have free parking provision all over town. Please use them."
One local described the parking as "ridiculous" while another said: "Shamefully there are cars parked there every day. Total lack of respect."
A spokesperson for Fenland District Council said the removal of the vehicle was a "police matter" with Cambridgeshire Police the "only authority to enforce on-street parking issues."
The force has been approached for comment.
