Gnomes are half-human, half fantasy garden ornaments that stand between one and two feet high, with pointy hats and are often pictured with fishing rods or gardening tools.

These garden ornaments may seem like a recent garden ornament trend, but gnomes were actually first mass-produced in 1872 in Germany. They were called Gartenzwerge or garden dwarfs.

They have divided opinion ever since and even been banned from designs at Chelsea Flower Show, but there are places they are celebrated.

Take a trip to West Putford in North Devon, UK, and you will find the whimsical Gnome Reserve and Wild Flower Trail, which at last count is home to 2,042 gnomes. This broke a Guinness world record, but it's not the only gnome related record breaker in the UK.

In November 2011 BBC Hereford and Worcester hit the record books for the largest gathering of people dressed as gnomes.

That day 478 people celebrated gnome culture, and we're celebrating these quirky little friends as well with a list of puns that all the family will enjoy. It's gnome joke, we've got 40 gnome puns to choose from!
