What's better than 'Iron' Man or even Spiderman? An 'Iron' Man and Spiderman that are full of straw that is - and creatively made by the lovely locals of Kinver village in South Staffordshire.Ā 

The superheroes were just two of a bunch of iconic and funny characters to take to the streets of Kinver on Saturday, with other notable figures including Britain's favourite inventor and dog duo, Wallace and Gromit and Led Zeppelin singer, Robert Plant.

The town was adorned with creatively made figures, attracting hundreds of people to its streets to see whose famous faces they could spot.

Also included in this year's event was a surprise visit by the one and only 'Nessy', who somehow travelled all the way from the Loch Ness to steal the limelight.

Visitors were asked to keep note of their favourite creations, with the overall winner being announced later in the day.Ā 

See our round-up of 17 of the very best creations below:
