Racist messages and swastikas scrawled all over a children's playground were discovered by a dad walking his daughter to school.

Darren Kett snapped photos of the horrific graffiti that was spray-painted on the playground in Rochester, Kent.

He was walking his six-year-old daughter, Alesha, to school and said he was 'appalled' by the state of the playground on Monday morning.

One of slogans read “F*** Jews” accompanied by a Nazi swastika , while another referenced the phrase “Heil Hitler”.

Another of the messages was a racial slur directed at black people.

Mr Kett said he was unable to get his daughter out of the playground before she saw the graffiti.

The father-of-three, 44, posted the images, taken at Jacksons Recreational Ground, on social media, where they were shared by dozens of times by 'disgusted' residents.

He told the local paper : "You don’t expect to see this sort of thing anywhere let along a place where kids go to play."

He added: “We had five minutes to spare, and Alesha wanted to go on the swings. I was absolutely appalled to see this."

Disgusted residents demanded that Medway council remove the racial slurs as quickly as possible.

A spokesman for Medway Council told Mirror.co.uk the graffiti had been removed.
