Festive tractor parade lights up Suffolk roads for charity
Making their corner of the world a happier place this Christmas season.
[BBC] An event that saw almost 100 tractors take to a county's roads in Christmas lights has raised thousands for charity.

The colourful Light Parade, which launched last year, travelled through villages in East Suffolk on Sunday.

It raised more than £6,000 for Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue (SULSAR) and the Woodbridge charity, Just42.

Lead organiser Liz Quickenden said the response had been "overwhelmingly positive".

Ms Quickenden said the parade was spurred on by the cost of living crisis, which forced many families to make the decision not to decorate their homes with Christmas lights.

She said the event, sponsored by NFU Mutual, aimed to bring some festive cheer to the local community - and would return in 2024.
