Details as damage to be assessed on Wiltshire landmark after cross appears
Red fabric forming the St George's Cross was pinned to the historic White Horse, prompting English Heritage to arrange damage assessment following similar national displays.
A red fabric was pinned across the Westbury White Horse to form a St George's cross, and it will be removed soon, according to English Heritage.
The Westbury White Horse is about 180ft high and carved into chalk grassland near Bratton Camp in Wiltshire, with origins dating back to the late 1600s.
English Heritage will assess any damage caused by the pegs used for the fabric attachment, as confirmed by a spokesperson.
Wiltshire Police stated that no criminal offences are believed to have been committed regarding the red fabric incident.
