Hundreds of farmers from every county in Northern Ireland took part in tractor runs on Saturday afternoon in protest against new inheritance tax plans.

The Ulster Farmers’ Union organised seven tractor runs as part of a UK-wide day of action.

Lines of tractors could be seen on roads throughout Northern Ireland, with some participants also bearing posters and UFU flags.
