The Active Agri Association held a memorial parade of lights on Saturday in Killinkere, Co Cavan, in honour of one of its founding members, Charlie McCann.

The spectacular tractor run was in aid of the children’s ward at Cavan General Hospital.

Over 100 tractors registered for the run, all decorated with fairy lights, Christmas trees and tinsel.

Charlie McCann was one of the group's founding members but sadly passed away earlier this year.

He held a very big role in many of the events the Active Agri Association organised in the past, such as last year's 32-County Bale Challenge.

The tractor run kicked off at 12pm for registration until 4pm, with live music from local bands.

The parade of tractors then started its two-hour long journey at 4.30pm, making its way through the local towns, meeting Santa Claus along the way.

An estimated €8,500 has been raised from the charity event and will be given to the children’s ward at Cavan General Hospital in the coming months.
