Shrek is no stranger to the Halloween costume scene. It is definitely a popular choice every year.

Fans of the season have either opted for store-bought costumes or simply utilised face paint and headbands to add a DIY touch to their outfits.

Local nostalgic icons also made an appearance. Two friends were dressed as Del Boy and Rodney Trotter, the classic British duo from the beloved British sitcom ‘Only Fools and Horses’.
