West Midlands farming community makes tribute to late Harry Moss
6th June 2025
Convoy of about 35 tractors took part in the special send-off for teenager Harry Moss, who lost his life in a farming accident back in April.
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.
