A woman caught on CCTV urinating on a war memorial before performing a sex act was forced to walk through a "guard of dishonor" as she arrived at court for sentencing.
Wendy Lewis - dubbed "Britain's most disgusting person" - turned up at Blackpool magistrates' court 40 minutes late and covered her face as she spotted a media scrum waiting for her.
War veterans, proudly sporting berets and polished medals on their blazers, lined the court steps to form the "guard of dishonour".
They clapped and shouted "Disgusting!" as she entered the building, to which Lewis replied: "F*** off!"
Lewis then disappeared from court, telling probation officers she had a "problem at home", and after six hours a warrant was issued for her arrest.
If she is found by police, she will spend the weekend in the cells until court resumes on Monday morning.
The 32-year-old admitted outraging public decency at an earlier hearing and is expected to be given a community service order as punishment.
She was caught on CCTV drunkenly urinating on the town centre memorial.
When police arrived they found her performing a sex act on a man sitting on the memorial.
Ian Coleman, president of the Royal British Legion Association, called her the "most disgusting person in this country" and said she should be jailed for her actions.
One of the war heroes waiting for her, former Royal Marine James Baker, 88, said: "This female, I nearly called her a lady, has disgraced her sex.
"It is unforgivable what she did in the face of these dead men."
Don Aiken, 85, who was also on the beaches on D-Day, said: "We have all come today to show our disgust at the actions of this woman on the cenotaph.
"It is sacred to ex-servicemen personally, because it holds the names of so many of our comrades who died in two world wars to defend the freedom of our nation."
Mr Aiken was present in court at the last hearing when the 30-minute CCTV recording was shown.
