Crowds gather at Bassingbourn Mayhem family fun day

The fun day took place on Sunday, May 28 in the 'Field of Dreams' in Brook Road - owned by Nigel Howard who allows it to be used each year.

A convoy of vintage tractors toured the village streets before proceeding to the field, where entertainment included a dog show, a mini funfair for children and a music festival.

Tom Marriage, who has been organising the Mayhem event for 12 years, said: "I have enjoyed every minute of it, but this will be my last one.

"I need a rest. I am hoping someone else will now take the reins."
