Chris Stark flies the flag for Scott Mills and the Aubergine Emoji

Chris Stark has climbed on top of Powderham Castle and replaced the Radio 1 flag that was flying for #BigWeekend with a special new flag containing a picture of Scott Mills' face on one side, and an aubergine emoji on the other.

But how did this all come about??

Well, the day started as planned, with official #flagpacker Matt Edmondson raising the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 1 flag above Powderham Castle.

Matt is King of the Castle... for now

But not everyone was as excited about the flag as Matt...

In fact, all this talk of flags made Chris Stark realise that Matt Edmondson does have a look of Earldom about him...

Earl Matt Edmondson of Devon....?

Then Scott Mills had a brilliant idea...

...And Greg James had a interesting suggestion.

This was all the encouragement Chris Stark needed, and he soon put a plan into place on his way down to Exeter...

And so history was made as Chris Stark bravely climbed up Powderham castle and liberated it from Earl Matt Edmondson. Here are some of the best moments.
