A man, who painted a giant EU flag on the side of his home, has been ordered to remove it by his local council.

Bren Goillon, from Helhoughton near Fakenham in Norfolk, painted the giant flag to show his sadness at the Brexit decision. He even replaced one of the 12 stars with a teardrop.

North Norfolk Council says the painting is in breach of advertisement regulations and impairs the visual amenity of the area. They say to keep it he would need planning permission but would be unlikely to get it.

He has until September the 19th to remove it and he says he will.
