People in Tonbridge might recognise their local Aldi store in a TV advert drumming up support for the Tokyo Olympics.
The supermarket in Swanmead Way takes a starring role at the end of the ad which features British athletes preparing for the games and farmers showcasing their produce.

There's music, fireworks and cheering but it all changes when taekwondo champion Jade Jones notices a seagull and the fact she is in a car park, not Japan.
As she says, "This is not Tokyo!".
The clip then zooms out to reveal a lady on a mobility scooter enjoying an ice cream who says, "This is Tonbridge, sweetheart!"
Jade is known for winning gold medals at the London Olympics in 2012 and the Rio Olympics in 2016.
She is seen alongside the Brownlee brothers, Alistair and Jonny, who are triathlon stars, and gymnast Max Whitlock.
The clip is being aired on television as the supermarket, which is an official partner for Team GB, starts building hype and support for the games which start on Friday, July 23 and run until Sunday, August 8.
