Hundreds of tractor drivers have hit the region's roads as part of a charity Boxing Day event.

The festive farming spectacle rumbled through the Norfolk countryside this morning, setting off from Larling at the Angel Inn pub between Attleborough and Thetford.

A mixture of vintage, classic and new tractors travelled across tracks and farmland for more than 20 miles, hoping to raise thousands for young person's mental health charity.

The Larling Tractor Run is organised by Gavin Stammers along with his son Jack, who has been running the annual event since 2019.

Hundreds of tractors lined up along the road outside the Angel Inn pub as supporters came along to enjoy the spectacle.

Families got the chance to jump aboard and sit inside the vehicles before they set off on their way through the Norfolk countryside.

It took several hours to complete the route and drivers were met by cheering onlookers as they passed through.

The tractor run was founded in 2004 by local businessmen David Kidd and David Boggia before being taken over by Mr Stammers.

It is now in its 17th year and has raised more than £40,000 for local charities.

This year's chosen cause is Norfolk-based mental health charity YANA (You Are Not Alone), which offers support for people in countryside communities who may be affected by stress and depression.
