A Christmassy tractor tour through North Herts town centres has raised thousands for Garden House Hospice Care.
Around 100 tractors bedecked in Christmas lights proceeded through the streets of Baldock, Hitchin and Letchworth on Saturday.
Organiser Richard Hill said: "It was absolutely amazing the amount of people who turned out.
"The vehicles that turned up were unreal. The hospice said they had never been involved with an event as big as that."
After the procession the tractors lined up to be judged for the best decorations - with North Herts Cllr Sam Collins declaring Gosmore's Maydencroft tractor as the winner.
The money is still being counted, with thousands raised so far for the hospice.
Richard said: "I want to thank North Herts Council, Ringway and everyone that helped, including all the marshals, and thank you to Sam Collins."
Carla Pilsworth, director of income generation at Garden House Hospice Care, said: “I’ve been working in fundraising for almost 18 years and this was probably the best thing I’ve ever seen.
"The atmosphere was out of this world and just the lift that everyone needed after a difficult few years. We are currently up to £6,000 in charitable donations for this event.
"It costs the hospice £7,500 a day to run our services and it’s incredible that one cold night in December will help us fund the hospice for a whole day.
“Fundraising has been a real struggle for the last two years and for everyone to come together and support a charity in need at this time really is what community fundraising is all about.
"We hope we can make this an annual event for the farmers, for local people and local families who need our charitable support 365 days a year.”
To donate £5 you can still text 'tractor' to 70460.
