A GIANT pair of knickers is flying the flag for Lancing.
The underwear has taken the place of stolen flags on a boat on Beach Green.
Former Lancing parish councillor Jayne Sykes-Strudwick owns the boat and maintains the flower beds along the beach.
"I've put five flags on there and they've all been stolen," said Mrs Sykes-Strudwick.
"Last time I put a skull-and-crossbones flag up and I said to my friends if this one goes I'm going to hang a great big pair of knickers up there to say "no knickers to the thieves". The flag was gone in five days."
Mrs Sykes-Strudwick asked a friend to make the knickers and says they've been so popular that she's planning on making them a permanent feature.
"Everyone in Lancing's talking about them. I think we're going to do festive ones for Christmas."
Mrs Sykes-Strudwick has been working on the flower beds along Beach Green since 1999 and says she wants to attract more people to Lancing by keeping the beach attractive for visitors.
