Driving through the south west of Birmingham, it's hard not to notice something about the lampposts.
For more than a mile, almost every one has a St George's or union jack flag attached - thousands of them.
In one district, Weoley Castle, the BBC found two men carrying a ladder and shopping bags. A DIY trip this is not, because as we stop to talk to them one rests the ladder against a lamppost, the other pulls a union jack flag from the bag, and the next minute it's flying high.
They tell us they want to spread "love, unity and patriotism", but don't want to be filmed or interviewed. They direct us to a local cafe where flags and donations are being collected to find out more.
It's rare to see national flags lining our streets like this in Great Britain, beyond special occasions like royal, sporting or military events, so why are they appearing now - and does this say something bigger about people's perceptions of modern-day Britain?
