A RUSSIAN flag was hung from scaffolding around Salisbury Cathedral last night.
It was taken down this morning after cathedral staff were made aware of it.
It appears to have been put in place by someone climbing the scaffolding around overnight from Saturday into Sunday.
The Dean of Salisbury, the Very Reverend Nicholas Papadopulos, said: “This was a remarkably stupid thing to do and makes light of the huge personal tragedies involved, and the damage done to the city by the unprecedented nerve agent attacks on Salisbury last year.”
