A police probe has been launched after a historic white horse landmark was altered to feature a St George's Cross.
The famous Westbury White Horse, which has been carved into a Wiltshire hillside for 350 years was draped with red fabric to resemble the English flag on September 9.
After the stunt was reported to English Heritage, who own the land, the red ribbons - held by pegs - were removed from the 53-metre-tall horse.
English Heritage examined the site and said the pegs had caused 'minimal damaged'.
Following its assessment Wiltshire Police said: 'We have received a report regarding minor damage being done to the horse through the use of pegs'.
