Christopher Pincher with one of the Elford scarecrows

Elford’s famous scarecrow festival saw visitors flock to the village to catch some of the 60 creations on show.

Among them was Tamworth MP Christopher Pincher who saw creations paying tribute to things such as Les Miserables and TV cookery shows.

“The community spirit in Elford really is something special,” said Mr Pincher. “And once again villagers have invited people from outside to join in.

“Although Miserable Les was an inspired and really well made scarecrow, my personal favourite was Mo Farah and his trade mark victory dance – that one made me smile.

“Even the sun came out to support all the exhibitors and visitors.”
