   The Annual Charity festive Tractor Run by the  @ArchersView  made its way around South Leicester on Sunday 21st December 2015 . The weather outside was spiteful but the tractors looked delightful with lights aglow, with horns sounding loudly we could hear them approaching from a long way outside the village of Countesthorpe in Leicestershire . As the parade begins we see the first tractors approach the roundabout and hear exited cheers from the considerable crowd who have braved the wet weather and cold temperatures.

My film explores the installation and captures some of the lantern tributes. As darkness f...
