St George's Cross symbols have appeared on road markings and mini-roundabouts on the Fylde cost as part of the nationwide movement 'Operation Raise The Colours'.
A number of St George's Crosses have been painted on road markings and mini-roundabouts on West Park Drive, as the flag raising and painting protest sweeps the UK.
Locals involved in the campaign targeted two mini-roundabouts and several road surface marks on the resort road during Bank Holiday Weekend.
