It is the third year in a row the event has taken place in the village, giving residents the chance to get creative and spark a few smiles on the school run as children return to class.

The event is organised by the North Lancing Community Association and done just for fun – with no prizes and no charge to enter.

A spokesman said: “This is the third year and each year this becomes bigger with many more participating residents.”

As ever, there is a topical theme to many scarecrows – with some sporting face masks.

Another scarecrow couple can be spotted relaxing on a bench in their sunglasses while enjoying a ‘staycation’ in the village.
