Dozens of tractors driven by farmers were spotted heading through Hampshire.

The annual tractor run – organised by South East Hants Young Farmers' Club – saw around 50 people take part in the convoy.

The popular event was in aid of Guide Dogs and Rowans Hospice and nearly £1,000 has been raised so far.

This year was Thomas Gregory’s fourth time organising the tractor run, with him leading the charge.

“I was hoping for more, maybe between 60 and 70, but I think the uncertainty of the weather put people off.

“Nobody knew what the weather was going to do; it was raining first thing, then the sun started shining before we set off.

“But overall, the rally went well, and members of the public watched us pass through the towns and met us at the end.”

Tractors and their drivers set off from Tangier Farm in Bishop's Waltham at 9.30am on Saturday.

They travelled through Waltham Chase, Wickham and Denmead to East Meon and West Meon, before finishing up at Caffeine and Machine at 2.30pm.

Thomas said: “A lot of people stood out to support us, and my favourite part of the ride is all the people on the high streets who come out and see us.

“In Bishop’s Waltham, you could not walk on the pavement it was so busy.

“People really love the event, and I was even asked about it in August. The residents of Bishop’s Waltham in particular absolutely love it.”

The convoy consisted of new tractors, vintage tractors, and other impressive machinery.

Thomas was driving his new Fendt 720 at the front of the line, leading the way to West Meon.

He is still waiting to reveal the final fundraising result as donations continue to roll in.

Thomas said: “People are still donating to the GoFundMe page and we have to finish counting the money from all the collection buckets.

“The whole day just went swimmingly.”
