UK's rudest chalk figure gets a glow-up to stop it fading in the rain

National Trust staff and volunteers are set to apply 17 tonnes of fresh chalk to the outline of the UK's famous chalk figure, known for its controversial depiction, to prevent it from fading in the rain. This restoration effort aims to maintain the visibility and integrity of the figure, which has become a notable landmark.

The initiative highlights the National Trust's commitment to preserving cultural heritage and ensuring that iconic symbols remain recognizable and accessible to the public, reflecting the importance of such figures in local history and tourism.
