Netherseal Young Farmers led a procession of 90 tractors decked out with Christmas lights to raise money for children's charities. 

The tractor parade toured villages in North West Leicestershire and South Derbyshire, starting and ending at Busby and Partners Manor Farm in Chilcote, visiting Clinton, Harlaston, Elford, Lullington, Coton-in-the-Elms, Rosliston, Linton and other villages. 

In total, the tractor run has raised £8,723 with £7,176 raised from collection buckets by volunteers along the route. 

The funds raised will go to causes supported by The Charles Kinston Trust. Charles Kinston was shot dead at the age of 23 in a Derbyshire field on 29 January.  

The Charles Kinston Trust continues to honour Charles' legacy by raising money for causes that were important to him. 

The funds from the tractor run will be donated to The Charles Kinston Trust as well as Cardiac Risk in the Young and Your Local Air Ambulance Service. 

The fundraiser is still open to donations and can be found by clicking here.
