A tractor procession is being organised in Newchurch in memory of a 10-year-old boy who has died.
Thomas Bull died on June 10, following a “tragic accident at his family home”.
Details of his funeral service have now been announced to celebrate Thomas’ “short but packed life”.
The funeral service is set to take place at St Mary’s Church in Newchurch, on Friday, June 21. A private cremation, at Skipton Crematorium, will follow.
His parents are also asking for help from members of the farming and local communities to give their son the send-off he deserves.
Jo and Chris are asking members of the farming community to join them at The Buck Country Pub, in Kiln Lane, Paythorne, at 11am on the day of the funeral.

This is to take Thomas to the church for “one last tractor run”. Thomas was said to be a “typical farmer’s son” with a love of farming and tractors.
Donations are being accepted for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
The tractor-run route will be from Paythorne back to the Toll House into Gisburn, along Blacko Road, Roughlee and onto Newchurch.
After the service, the tractors will return to Gisburn Mart and then proceed to Skipton Crematorium.
Pictures and videos are encouraged.
A spokesperson for David Hartley Family Funeral Service, which is organising the funeral, said: “Thomas was a typical farmer's son and loved being on the farm he has a passion for John Deere tractors as well as steam trains, engines and tractors.
