A newly designed flag depicting the mythical Killerton Dragon was hoisted up the flagpole by villagers of Silvertonshire this week.
This was to herald the coming of the Silverton Street Market on 3 August. William Hacking, 93 and Harry Madams, 7 were representing the community.
Legend has it that the dragon was born out of the flames of the ancient Killerton volcano and only appears on momentous occasions. According to locals it was last seen just before the Millennium swooping over the village doing a loop-the-loop.
Get lost in the mystery and intrigue of Sherlock Homes and enjoy the magical performance of the pantaloons as they present this classic in Killerton's garden.
