A tractor convoy made its way across west Kent this afternoon in memory of a well-known farmer.

Alan Dimbleby died in a freak agricultural accident in July when his vehicle fell down a steep hill, throwing him from the cab.

The 62-year-old was left with a fractured neck and severe injuries to his head after the incident, which happened in Surrey.

The father-of-three was treated by paramedics but died at St George's Hospital in London the following day.

In the weeks after, friends and family appealed for farmers to join them in the tractor convoy, which took place as part of Mr Dimbleby's funeral.

More than 40 farmers and 20 tractors gathered at Tunbridge Wells Crematorium this morning to begin their journey.

The procession travelled through the west of the county, ending in Pratts Bottom - where Mr Dimbleby lived.

The pensioner, who had worked in the farming industry for more than 40 years, leaves behind his wife, Gill, three children and eight grandchildren.

His son, Thomas, organised the tractor run and hopes it will be a fitting tribute.

He said: "The one thing I can say about my dad is he was a legend. He was fantastic. He was a husband, dad and grandfather.

"There really was no one better than him. He was a lovely man and I don't know anyone who had a bad word to say about him at all.

"Everyone speaks so highly of him."
