People have flocked to the village of Harpole in Northamptonshire to admire this year’s entries to its annual scarecrow competition.
Far from looking like they had been dragged through a hedge backwards, residents had gone futuristic, Disney and even Hollywood for creations that were anything but scruffy.
One entry channelled Hugh Jackman in The Greatest Showman for their scarecrow, complete with top hat and cane.
