Wray Scarecrow Festival returned on Saturday and sees those in the community pay homage to sci-fi characters as per the theme of the event this year, with more than 50 installations.
A village in Lancashire has been taken over by popular sci-fi figures replicated in scarecrow form, including E.T. and the Daleks from Doctor Who. John Gordon, 72, one of the organisers, said: “There are quite a few E.T.s around – on the bike, of course. “We’ve got a number of Daleks, characters from Star Wars, and there’s an amazing one from Planet Of The Apes.
” He said “a lot of time” was spent making the cloak, as well as using modelling clay to construct a brain across the top of the head of the scarecrow. The festival – which began in roughly 1992 – has an origin story as quirky as the scarecrows on offer each year. “It’s been running for over 20 years and it started off by accident,” Mr Gordon said.
