ORGANISERS of a vintage vehicle rally are already planning for next year after a record number of spectators turned out for the weekend's event.
The two-day rally, which was staged in Blackhill and Consett Park, featured vintage cars, motorbikes, commercial vehicles and tractors, as well as a variety of stalls and craft stands.
Organisers estimate that crowd numbers were double that of the previous year and are now confident it will become an annual event.
The event was staged by Durham City Vintage Collectors Society and the Friends of Blackhill and Consett Park and attracted people from across the UK.
Rally organiser Allan Harley said the success of the event meant that it would definitely be staged next year, although they would try to attract more local people next time around. He said: "It was an excellent event."
