Cheering and waving crowds greeted a long line of tractors taking part in this year's Stebbing Tractor Run.

Aound 80 vintage vehicles took part this year. The event raises money for Essex & Herts Air Ambulance.

The new route over fields and through villages included Great Bardfield, Finchingfield, Walthams Cross, Shalford, Great Saling, Stebbing and Bran End.

There was a cake stall on Stebbing High Street, and generous donors added coins to collection buckets, while pubs and businesses also helped to collect donations.

Air ambulance personnel in a critical care team car were among those watching the procession of tractors.

Organisers have said the money donated is still being counted and they will announce the total soon. If you missed the collection buckets, you can still donate to them online through https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/elaine-rowe9

Last year's event raised £10,000.
