A Boxing Day staple returned to Sarratt yesterday, with the annual classic car gathering delighting villagers.

Held on The Green, the event showcased "veteran, vintage and classic vehicles" across four hours, with motoring enthusiasts bringing their retro cars to be shown off.

As well as this collection, all the money raised from food and hot drinks was donated to the two organisations.
