A former British soldier has taken down a Nazi flag after leaving the neighbours fuming. Billy Brown flew the flag in the back garden of his home on Belmont Walk in Walker, Newcastle, on Monday.
He was also reportedly heard playing the played the tune Erika, a 1930s marching song used by the German military, after raising the flag. One neighbour told Chronicle Live: "I'm in complete and utter shock.
"He's always got different flags but that is the first time I've seen a Nazi flag. I'm disgusted."
