Amazing effort from the Wellington locals
Celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with a royal-themed scarecrow competition, a village in Herefordshire has crafted 104 figures so far.
“The theme this year is kings, queens, princes, princesses or anything with a royal connection,” co-organiser Phil Smith, 68, told the PA news agency.“For instance, the chapel in the village have done a display of William, the Queen, Philip and all the royal children as one display. We’ve probably got a dozen or so Queens dotted around… and a few Purple Rain Princes.
Mr Smith said it took him around four days to finish his scarecrow creation of the Queen, but added that the competition is about the “taking part” for the villagers.
