A historic white horse landmark has been altered to feature the St George's Cross as 'Operation Raise the Colours' continues across the UK.
The famous Westbury White Horse, which has been carved into a Wiltshire hillside for 350 years, has had two lengths of red fabric pinned to it in a statement which seems to ape the recent trend of displaying the England flag in public places.
English Heritage, which owns the land, said it would remove the ribbon as soon as possible, but Wiltshire Police confirmed the force was not investigating the incident.
Velisa Russell, who walks past the landmark regularly, said: 'Luckily there's no damage as red material was used.
'It's more an act of patriotism, not vandalism. Just a bit of fun.'
