Festive tractors light up roads in farmer support

A festive tractor run saw 75 vehicles light up the roads in aid of charity.

The annual Eye Christmas Lights Tractor Run event in Suffolk took place on Saturday night.

It was in aid of YANA (You are Not Alone), which supports those in the agricultural industry with their mental health.

A spokesperson for the event said they had doubled on last year's tractor numbers and a final total for money raised would be revealed in the future.
