And this year, it is joined by a Land Rover too.

He raises funds for Cancer Research UK, in memory of his father David, who died in 2006 aged 57.

Mr Wilkinson, 35, first put up the tractor lights in 2016 on the 10th anniversary of his father's passing and has since raised money annually at Christmas time.

He said: "They raise thousands of pounds for a charity very close to home due to losing my dad to cancer in 2006.

"Ever since 2016 the display just keeps growing and growing and growing."

Previously he showcased a John Deere 6820 replica but this year has adapted it to look like a 6155.

The lights can be seen in Town Street in the East Riding village.
