Star Wars, The Little Mermaid, E.T., roadworks - annual scarecrow festival returns to Lincolnshire village with range of entries (IN PICTURES)

A village between Boston and Skegness has once again been showcasing its ability to turn the humble scarecrow into a ‘straw-some’ spectacle.

This year’s Friskney Scarecrow Festival led to a wide range of creative entries.

Some took inspiration from the Silver Screen, including the overall winner – ‘E.T.’ by Kerry Ferrier.

Some looked to fairytales, such as the Little Red Riding Hood entry; others based theirs on something more grounded in reality – roadworks, for example.

Here is a gallery of some of those that were on display in the village.
