Easter is only days away but John Stevens, pictured, is already in the swing of things.

His elaborate bonnet, complete with chicken and egg, was just one of the masterpieces on show at the Phoenix Club annual Easter parade.

The Canvey club is run by Eddie Stacey - better known as the red-nosed clown who tirelessly collects money for children with special needs.

Hats off to him - John Stevens is a head above the rest
