TRACTOR owners turned festive fundraisers as a run through Saddleworth on Christmas Eve saw a four-figure sum given to charity.
Decorations joined the usual lights as the vehicles paraded through the villages – visiting Dobcross Square, Delph’s King Street, Delph, Uppermill High Street, and The Royal George and The Clarence in Greenfield before returning to The Diggle Hotel.

And even though a final figure will not be announced by the Saddleworth Tractor Group until New Year’s Eve, already more than £1,600 has been raised for The Salvation Army.
At last count, the total stood at £1,653.40 – but it was still going up.
The sight of a long line of farm vehicles – many fitted out with lights and decorations and one pulling a sleigh – provided a great sight on Saddleworth’s streets as people got ready for Christmas.
And many lined the pavements to watch them come through as the clock ticked down to December 25.
