First there was #Dogsatpollingstations - the viral Twitter trend where people showed off their pets as they set off to vote.

Now South Ribble Borough Council have created #Diggersatpollingstations.

While it is very unlikely to become the next big thing on social media, polling stations will hope that #Diggersatpollingstations helps achieve a high turnout for today's local elections.
