Portsmouth mayor uses Metallica entrance music at appointment ceremony
A Portsmouth mayor walked into his appointment ceremony to the sounds of Metallica in a noisy break with tradition.
Councillor Tom Coles chose the heavy metal band’s song Eye Of The Beholder to be played as he entered Portsmouth Guildhall on Tuesday.
There were some smirks amongst the audience as the unusual moment unfolded, with some capturing it on their mobile phones.
