These scarecrows dressed up as key workers in Britain's Capel village promise to cheer up people during daily walks
A figure representing a key worker is seen in a hedgerow as various scarecrows lighten the daily lockdown walk, as the number of the coronavirus disease cases grows around the world, in the village of Capel in southern Britain, April 26, 2020.
"We needed to cheer up the village and get people to have a laugh as they went around on their daily exercise," said Sally Wyborn, who instigated the idea of the scarecrows. The idea of giant dolls was not new to the villagers of Capel. They used to make them every June to advertise a fete and open gardens, but had not done so for nine years following the death of Wyborn's husband.
