The Isle of Wight classic tractors charity road run kicks off this morning (Wednesday).

The annual drive-out starts at 10am, at B&Q car park in Newport, and finishes at Compton Farm.

Tractors started arriving from 8.30am so the public could see them ahead of the event.

This year, the event is in support of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance and Alzheimer’s Cafe Daily.

Last year, the 24-mile route saw a stream of classic and modern tractors travel through Rookley, Gatcombe, Shorwell, Brighstone and Military Road.
