Each carriage featured a miniature of a DIFF 2017 participating country. The UK's flowery car was a unique combination of four distinctive symbols of the country: the Elizabeth Tower, the London Tower Bridge, the two-storey bus and the Thames River while the Japan's carried the country’s two most famous symbols: cherry blossom and Torii.
