A huge effigy of Donald Trump holding the head of US presidential rival Hillary Clinton will be burned at a town's annual bonfire celebrations.

The 36ft (11m) steel-framed model of the Republican candidate will go up in flames- days before he goes head to head with Democrat Hillary Clinton in the election.

Trump was chosen as the figure to sit on top of the bonfire at this year's event in Edenbridge, Kent, that has been poking fun at the famous and infamous for more than 20 years.

Dressed in shorts with images of Mexican men emblazoned on them, the effigy will be stuffed with oil-soaked newspapers, packed with fireworks and torched on Saturday.
