Tractor enthusiasts from the dale have so far raised more than £3,500 in memory of a valued club member during an epic three-day coast-to-coast rally.

Tributes have been paid to a former nurse and charity volunteer and fundraiser who has died aged 77.

Eight dale people were invited to Buckingham Palace earlier this month to celebrate earning their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award.

UTASS (Upper Teesdale Agricultural Support Services) has reached a key milestone, marking 25 years since the charity first opened a premises in Middleton-in-Teesdale.
