The scarecrow formerly known as Prince came 10th in competition despite theft of the original

Thieves stole a scarecrow tribute to the late pop star Prince.



The life-size model was among the creations at this year's Muston Scarecrow Festival near Scarborough, North Yorkshire.



Only its shoes were left behind. Organisers later added a sign reading: "The scarecrow formerly known as Prince".



However, despite the theft, festival organisers awarded the entry 10th place in the competition.
