The scarecrows are back and this year's festival will be bigger and better than ever.
Last year villagers in Hunsworth, near Cleckheaton, pulled out the stops with their creations for their third successful Scarecrow Festival.
"Wayne Rooney" was nursing his broken foot on the village green and round the corner was "The Queen".
Organised by the Friends of Hunsworth, the village environment group, this year's festival, from Saturday, June 2 to Sunday, June 10, promises to be bigger and better than ever.
For the first time, residents in the neighbouring village of East Bierley have come on board to create their own characters.
The festival culminates in a prize presentation on the Sunday at 3pm for the winners of the Hunsworth scarecrow competition and at 4pm for the East Bierley champions.
Both presentations take place on the village greens.
