Tractor ladies in the pink
Ninety-seven ladies clad in pink will trundle through the countryside on tractors to raise money for breast cancer.
The sixth Ladies Tractor Road Run in aid of Cancer Research UK takes place on Sunday and starts at Thorpe Abbotts Airfield, 11.30am.
The run has helped raise 117,000 for the cancer charity.
On-lookers are encouraged to line the streets and watch the decorated tractors rolling through Brockdish, Weybread, Harleston, Starston, Pulham St Mary, Dickleburgh and Rushall.
Among the women taking part is 78 year-old June McCoy, who is travelling from Birmingham to participate
“I did drive tractors 50 odd years ago,” she said. “I have done very well with my sponsorship – I am determined to have a go.”
