More than 300 people ran riot and destroyed an award-winning garden after they responded to a campaign for a mass water fight on social networking website Facebook.

With the country basking in its recent spell of fine weather, hundreds descended on the Millenium Square garden in Leeds following a listing on the popular website.

Leeds City Council claim around 350 people armed

with water pistols and buckets trashed the garden, which scooped a bronze medal at the 2004 Chelsea Flower Show and is a symbol of the city's enduring partnership with Nelson Mandela and his hometown of Durban.More than 350 people descended on mass to the Millenium Square garden in Leeds

typical selfish morons - destroying the hard work of other just for their own "fun". If it had been one of my gardens I would have been beyond angry. Personaly I would have liked to see Gardeners vs Retards using real guns.

It can be replanted, I think that it's great people came together to have fun although they probably could've chosen a better place.
