Norwich flag’s moment of Ashes TV fame

Published: 9:50 AM January 6, 2011    Updated: 6:18 PM October 10, 2020

As the wicket fell confirming that England would retain the Ashes, this moment was captured by television cameras broadcasting around the world.

In the midst of the raucous crowd caught on camera at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, eagle-eyed Evening News reader David Johnson spotted this St George's flag complete with a Norwich City badge. It also carries the name of the Coach and Horses pub. There are six such-named pubs in Norfolk.
