A Platinum Jubilee scarecrow trail took place in the villages of Haslington & Winterley - over the extended four-day bank holiday weekend.

The trail took place from Thursday (June 2) to Sunday (June 5) on the outskirts of Crewe.

Local residents and businesses produced dozens of scarecrows produced for the public to enjoy.

Numerous houses were also bedecked in red, white and blue bunting, balloons and flags.
