West Midlands farmers will host Harry Moss send-off
19th May 2025
The West Midlands farming community is set to organise “the best send-off” for teenager Harry Moss, who died in a farm machinery accident.
The 14-year-old boy was fatally injured by machinery at Hillview Farm on Thursday, 17th April.
Harry’s father revealed that his son had been saving up for a tractor before his tragic death.
“He got an opportunity to work on this farm and was so happy to get that job. It would have been his 15th birthday next month, and he was saving up for a tractor,” the heartbroken father said.
Harry’s mother, Hollie Mcmurray, added that her world “has fallen apart” following the death of her firstborn son.
“My boy forever loved. Fly high, my homing pigeon,” she said.

‘Let’s give this young man the best send-off’
The local community has come together to organise a tractor run in memory of the teenager, which will take place just before his funeral.
Andy Tipping of the Vintage Tractor & Engine Club West Midlands Group said: “I have been asked to arrange a convoy of tractors to give Harry the best send-off.
“Harry loved tractors and farming. I already have a few coming; let’s give this young man the best send-off.”
The tractor run will start off at 11.25am at Brick Barns Farm on Hanley Road in Malvern on Tuesday 3rd June and will finish at the St Mary the Virgin Church, Madresfield, where the funeral service will take place at 12 noon. Everybody is welcome to attend.
Jackson Family Funeral Directors said: “Dress code, Harry loved everything outdoors, from farming and fishing to rugby, so with that, please dress smart casual with a country flair where possible.”
The service will be followed by a reception at Malvern Rugby Football Club at 1.30pm, where Harry was a rugby player.
Ms Mcmurray added: “I have a little ask from anyone who will be attending Harry’s funeral. If anyone has any photos of him of any age, if u could kindly print them off and bring them along to the Malvern Rugby Club on the day, where they can be collected together for us all to share his loving memories.”
A fundraising page has been launched by the family friend Maggie Murrihy to help cover the cost of his funeral. Support the family here.
