Fantastic flag has been unfurled!

Lincolnshire has a new flag! Find out where you can get it from and have your say on the new design.

BBC Lincolnshire and Lincolnshire Life magazine launched their quest to find a flag for Lincolnshire in August 2005.

The winning entry was selected from a shortlist of six designs and attracted thousands of votes.

It features a red cross with a fleur de lis in the centre on a blue and green background. A gold border represents the crops grown in the county.

The blue on the flag represents the sea and sky of Lincolnshire and the green symbolises the fields, while the fleur de lys represents the City of Lincoln.

The winner has now been unfurled at five locations across the county.
