Amble woman's winning flag design to be flown during Jubilee events
Carole, 67, is a retired IT trainer and created the design whilst on holiday in Mallorca during poor weather conditions.
Her design includes a puffin, a fish, a boat, and a sea shack, all of which she says are important to Amble as a community and town.

The competition to design a town flag for Amble was initially announced by the Amble Development Trust in March.
Carole said: “I was absolutely gobsmacked when I got the email which said I had been identified as the winner, I’m chuffed to bits.
"It [the flag] is about what I like about Amble.
"I also wanted to show we are part of fabulous Northumberland, so I put the Northumberland flag around the edge.”
