Hundreds of vintage tractors chugged through the Suffolk countryside to mark Easter Sunday.

It was the 36th edition of the National Vintage Tractor Road Run, with about 200 vehicles starting and ending the day at Blackthorpe Barn in Rougham.

The 29-mile (47km) route, saw farmers and enthusiasts from across the UK pass through areas including Elmswell, Woolpit and Stowmarket over six hours.

"I've always been obsessed with tractors," said Keith Broomhall, who drove from Norfolk to take part.
