RON Bairstow, who has died aged 90, was the man who founded Baildon’s Scarecrow Walk in September, 2008.

On that first occasion, around 100 hand-made scarecrows appeared around the village, 50 of them put together by children from Glenaire Primary School.

The event was organised by the village’s In Bloom committee to raise funds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
