A famous hillside chalk figure has been adorned with a face mask, in an apparent reference to coronavirus.Local resident Kevin Knight, who tweeted a picture of the alteration earlier, said it had"really lifted villagers' spirits".Image copyrightThe ancient naked figure has been unofficially altered several times before
The 180ft ancient naked figure is not normally accessible to the public, in order to avoid damage and erosion.The penis was adorned with petals and leaves in 2019, while two years earlier the name 'Theresa' and a tennis racquet were added on separate occasions. Mr Knight tweeted:"Great to see Cerne Abbas Giant practising social distancing, wearing his face mask and keeping up villagers' morale."
He added:"It has put a smile on some of the older people's faces who are shielding and self-isolating." The alteration bears a resemblance to a hand drawing, tweeted on Tuesday by Ministry of Defence archaeologist Richard Osgood.

Shame you’re not reporting on how bad the U.K. government have responded to this crisis. In the same way you report other countries. Other countries are in despair at what is going on here Covid19UK UKGovernment
