Daniel Murphy with his winning bonnet |
Daniel is the Easter Bonnet head master!
THE chances are you won’t see a cruise ship, an enormous boiled egg with real toast, or an extinct – and almost life-sized – dinosaur being modelled on the rarefied heads at Ascot.
But patrons of The Pineapple in Leverton Street, Kentish Town, proved pretty much anything can be worn as a hat in the pub’s legendary annual Easter Bonnet competition on Sunday.
Modified policeman’s helmets, old-fashioned bowlers, a make-shift barrister’s wig and pineapples of the fresh and canned variety filled the neighbourhood watering hole.
Ten-year-old Daniel Murphy emerged from dozens of entrants as the stand-out winner for his towering pterodactyl hat,
complete with glowing eyes.
The champion’s mother, who helped hold the enormous papier-mâché dinosaur on his head, said her son had made “at least 65 per cent” of the hat himself. |
