Hundreds of people turned out to see colourful tractors parade through a string of villages.

A convoy of 45 tractors, festooned with fairy lights, drove through the Weald area of the county to bring some festive cheer.

Despite a few technical hitches, the display of bright lights and tinsel delighted families who braved the cold.

Some excited onlookers came from as far as Heathfield, Brighton and Maidstone to the see the parade which took in Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Staplehurst and Marden among others.

It was organised by the Weald of Kent Young Farmers Club (YFC) and aims to raise money for the air ambulance.

Claire Eckley, club leader and local arable farmer, previously told KentOnline: “We are very proud to organise an event that everyone can enjoy, no matter their circumstances.

“Our tractor drivers love all the waving, cheering and clapping.”

It was the third year the parade has taken place.

YFC said in a statement they had seen “phenomenal” crowds this year.

“The amount of love, support and lovely messages we have received has been utterly heartwarming,” they said.

“Thank you so, so much from the bottom of our hearts for all the support with this event.

“A big thank you to all of our sponsors. Without these guys, the event wouldn’t be possible.”
