The choir and the audience sang a hymn – “Dear Ford & Father of mankind” – as a tribute to the original mass producer of vehicles which is set to close the last episode of the series.

Hundreds of classic Ford cars gathered at the Lincolnshire Showground on the Saturday for the last part of filming.
