A DISTINCTIVE Dorset figure has just been made more so to raise money for Red Nose Day.
Standing 180 feet tall, and with, erm... recognisable features, the Cerne Giant isn’t a figure who struggles to attract attention.
But the historic fertility symbol, marked in chalk on a hillside north of Dorchester, has donned a red nose to show his support for the Comic Relief charity.
The National Trust has given its seal of approval to the involvement of one of the nation’s best loved landmarks as people across the country gear up for the annual fun-packed fundraising day.
Kissathons, naked pole vaulting, and soakings in gunge for hapless volunteers are among the rib-tickling events set to sweep the country on March 13.
Send us your pictures of the Cerne Giant with a red nose to newsdesk@bournemouthecho.co.uk or text them to 80360 starting your message with BE
