THIS is the latest batch of entries to arrive in our hunt to find a flag for Dorset.

The Dorset Echo has invited readers to send us their ideas for a county flag and the submissions have come flying in.

David Wolstencroft, from Wyke Regis in Weymouth, sent us 10 different designs for a Dorset flag.

Some used a blue, yellow and green colour scheme -to represent the county's sky, beaches and countryside - and some used a red cross and king's crown.

In his other designs Mr Wolstencroft included familiar Dorset sights such as a ship, seagulls and a lighthouse.

Davina Denness, from Westham in Weymouth, also used the same colours - a common feature in reader's submissions so far - for her design.

Meanwhile, John Rogers, from Portland, sent us an updated version of his idea for a Dorset flag, which he originally submitted in oil sketch' form back in July.

It featured the St George flag for England, a red strip and the unique Dorset symbol of the Cerne Giant.

Reader Niall Simpson, from Dorchester, came up with a design using a hazel leaf - to represent Dorset's woodlands - and green rectangles to symbolise the county's green, open spaces.

Interest in finding a flag for Dorset has been renewed since Dorchester man David White came up with his own and the county council has asked to see more ideas.

Send your submissions to Newsdesk, Dorset Echo, Hampshire Road, Weymouth, DT4 9XD.

We will feature them in the paper and send them on to Dorset County Council.
