The population of Newtown Linford has been swelled by an army of bizarre scarecrows who have been popping up over the last few days.
The annual Scarecrow Festival took place over the weekend with dozens of villagers vying to come up with the most original idea for this year's contest.
The Colyer family created a scarecrow based on the Duchess of Cambridge, stood behind a cake stall.
Carolyn Colyer, who made the scarecrow and baked the cakes with her daughters Sophie, five, and Bella, two, said: "My husband, Clive, had the idea that we should do it on the theme of the Great British Bake-Off but with a twist."
The real Duchess of Cambridge might not be flattered to know what her Newtown Linford likeness was made of.
Carolyn said: "The body is just some of my old clothes stuffed with straw and the head is a load of plastic bags crammed into a potato sack.
"Last year we did Spiderman and just stuffed a costume with straw and hung it from a tree - we wanted to up our game this year.
"There are some really good ones around the village."
