LOOE harbourside and its surrounding areas were turned into a picture of colour as a festive convoy of illuminated tractors rolled through, delighting crowds who lined the route to enjoy the annual festive spectacle.

The event - which so far has raised over £3,500 - marked the success of the Pelynt Young Farmers’ Club Tinsel Tractor Run, which once again proved hugely popular with the local community.

Around 50 tractors and a Unimog took part, with large turnouts reported across the route.

A ‘Best Dressed Tractor’ competition added to the fun and was won by Alan Rundle and his son Jenson.

Club secretary Kensa Benallick said: “It went really well and the turnout was amazing, particularly in Looe. Also a huge thanks to everyone who supported, including our sponsors.”

Funds raised will support Cornwall Air Ambulance, Cancer Research UK and club funds.
