Friday Funnies: Campaigner's close shave with hair-o-plane

Welcome back connoisseurs of comedy as HoldtheFrontPage brings you a second consecutive week of Friday Funnies. With the weather distinctly unfunny for most people, we hope you enjoy this latest collection.

Please keep them coming to: editor.htfp@and.co.uk
