Hickling hosts annual scarecrow festival

The community at Hickling came up with some impressive displays for this year’s scarecrow festival at the weekend.

One of the most poignant was this one showing The Queen having tea with Paddington Bear, recreating that famous short film broadcast during the Platinum Jubilee earlier this year.
