Danny was at the wheel of the tractor truck as the convoy made its way to the wedding to his sweetheart, Lynn Curtis, at St John the Divine Church in Cliviger.

But Danny managed to keep it secret from Lynn, who arrived at the church in a vintage Rolls Royce.
Lynn said: "I stepped out of the car and saw the trucks lined up. I had no idea Danny was planning that."
Although a traditional white wedding, which included the couple's pet Rottweiler Lola dressed in a tutu and Danny's two other sons, Daniel and Ash, among the guests, their rodeo themed reception at Burnley Rugby Club had a surprise twist.

And as a special surprise, Danny's son Jamie (21) was playing electric guitar with Cheap. He played alongside lead guitarist Phil Leck who came over from Holland specially for the wedding.
Lynn said: "It was funny to see all the guests looking and shaking their heads as the DJ kept apologising.
"He then looked to the band and said 'can you help me out?' and that's when they started playing.
"We had it all planned out and it went beautifully."
The couple, who live in Great Harwood, met on a night out in Burnley in 2017 and it was love at first sight when Lynn declared the moment she saw him that Danny would be the man she married.
