Watch as over 100 tractors drive through the streets to remember a much-loved farmer

A convoy of tractors drove through the streets of Poynton and beyond on Saturday to remember a much-loved local man and farmer. More than 100 of the tractors joined a convoy to raise money for the hospital that cared for him in his final moments.

For the third year running, the annual tractor run attracted thousands across Poynton, Disley, New Mills and Marple to remember farmer Harvey Mitchell following his battle with cancer that he sadly lost on December 5 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Videos showed the long line of tractors driving through the streets on Saturday (December 31) along with the sounds of cheers and pipping horns in a bid to raise thousands for the Christie charity.
