What is Southover's meant to be please?

I'm guessing Donald Trump?

It's Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Michael Gove (perhaps) and Nigel Farage

How did Borough manage to get the colour of Trump's hair so badly wrong?

I thought the middle head on Southover's was Cameron.
Cliffe's Trump is an amazing likeness.

Fantastic tableaux. All involved should be applauded for their skill and artistry.
I didn't get South Street's though - the Pooh Bear and friends in a jar of honey.
Was it something to do with Brexit?
Can anyone explain?

Apparently it was Pooh Bear's 90th birthday.

It's great how they managed to come up with such radical and challenging images. I've never seen anything like that in a cartoon before.
So brave!

OK Gaunt John. What would you have done. No reply means you have no ideas, so looking forward to reading your reply.

South Street's piece celebrating Pooh Bears 90th Birthday was a street piece and not a tableau. The young children of the society also created their own very impressive tableau celebrating what would have been Roald Dahl's 100th birthday which was ignited in their first procession of the evening.
SSBS's tableau, unsurprisingly, was the same subject as the other societies and did not get taken through the streets but was set up during the day on their firesite.

I would have put loads of extremely wispy material on Trumps head, something like long strands of fine glass fibre, to imitate that fluff he has on his head. That would have looked brilliant blowing in the wind!
