36-Foot Donald Trump Effigy to Go Up in Flames at UK Festival

— -- A 36-foot effigy of Donald Trump will be set on fire in an English town this weekend as part of annual bonfire celebrations across the U.K.

Trump was the "obvious option" for this year’s effigy, according to organizers at the Edenbridge Bonfire Society, which selects a public figure to set on fire each year in the south of England. A photo of the effigy shows Trump holding the head of rival candidate Hillary Clinton, while wearing shorts decorated with images of men in Mexican sombreros.

"We’re literally helping Trump to live out his own catchphrase, 'Burn it down' by exploding the effigy as the opening act for our fireworks display," Edenbridge Bonfire Society spokesperson Jeni Fox said in a statement to ABC News. "It seemed only fair that Hillary Clinton also took some of the limelight, and we’re sure the presidential candidates will be pleased to see they’re both featured."

Bonfire Night is celebrated on Nov. 5 across the U.K. where firework celebrations typically feature effigies of Guy Fawkes, one of the men behind the plot to blow up British Parliament in 1605.

The Edenbridge Bonfire Society has made a name for itself for using the celebration to poke fun at public figures who have attracted widespread scorn. In previous years, the society has burned effigies of soccer players Wayne Rooney and Mario Balotelli as well as disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong and former FIFA chief Sepp Blatter.

The Trump effigy will be stuffed with fireworks and newspapers and set on fire during the Saturday evening celebration.
