A retired DJ has become a local tourist attraction after painting his £40k Porsche bright blue and yellow - to support Ukraine.

Geoff Dunn, 66, says visitors to Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Yorks., regularly stop him for photos.

He makes sure he's kitted out in matching blue and yellow clothes for the snaps - and even has themed Crocs.

Geoff, a former entertainer, says he loved the colour scheme before the Russian invasion of Ukraine last February.

But the war gave him reason to wear the clothes daily - and give his prized Boxster a makeover.
