One hundred and eight vintage machines and hundreds of people lined the country roads as they set off along their route driving through Larling, Eccles, Quidenham, Snetterton and Shropham.

Organiser David Boggia, who was driving a 1948 Series 2 Field Marshall, said it was another “fantastic” year for the event.
“When we started off six years ago we had 45 tractors, and it has grown and grown. There was a great turnout this year and the weather was good. It was very satisfactory,” he said.
