Knaresborough Tractor Run: More than 350 tractors join charity convoy

More than 350 tractors travelled in convoy through North Yorkshire on Sunday to raise money for charity.

The Knaresborough Tractor Run is held each year to raise funds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

The farm vehicles set off on a circular route from the town on Sunday morning, visiting places including Bishop Thornton, Pateley Bridge and Birstwith.

Thousands of people watched the event, which organisers say has raised more than £16,000 so far.

A total of 374 vehicles took part, including some vintage tractors, leaving from the Great Yorkshire Showground at about 09:30 GMT.

One of the organisers, Liv Fox, said: "The event was a great success, we were lucky with the weather after the snow we had last week. Everyone seemed to enjoy watching or participating."

Simon Green, from Padside, near Pateley Bridge, took part in the tractor run for the first time.

He said: "I watched it last year, but a few of my neighbours go in convoy in their vintage tractors, so I decided to dig mine out and join them this year.

"It was a great day, really well organised and a fantastic route which included a fair bit of off-road driving, which added to the fun.

"Everyone had a smile on their face and it just had a real feel-good atmosphere. I'll definitely be putting my name down for next year!"
