One of the country's most famous fireworks festivals, which sees giant effigies of topical figures burnt to the ground, has been cancelled.

This year's Edenbridge Bonfire Society event has been postponed by organisers.

In the past characters including Donald Trump and former House of Commons speaker, John Bercow have been torched.

Both the main event – where the 11-metre effigy is set alight – and the fireworks display have been called off.

A spokesman for the event said: "It is with deep regret that we announce the cancellation of our bonfire parade and firework extravaganza for 2020.

"Stay safe and we look forward to seeing you on 6th November 2021 bigger and better than ever!"

Other famous faces to be set alight over the years include Wayne Rooney, Katie Hopkins and Sepp Blatter.
