Andy Powell's tractor and trailer victory parade brings Welsh town to a standstill amid jubilant scenes

Brecon was brought to a standstill this afternoon as Andy Powell led the rugby club around the town 'proper farmer style' to celebrate their win in the WRU Plate Final.

Former Wales star and now Brecon boss Powell vowed to arrange a parade through the town after their 23-21 victory over Bonymaen at the Principality Stadium yesterday.

"We don't do open top buses, we will do it proper farmer style!" He tweeted earlier today.

And he stayed true to his word as a tractor and trailer were organised to show off the Plate to the locals.

Powell was seen leading the charge, being taxied around in a buggy ahead of the team who were being towed on a trailer by a tractor on Monday afternoon.

They did two laps of the town before pulling up in the square for pictures and singing songs with the gathered crowd in a jovial atmosphere.

Hundreds lined the streets to celebrate the club's success.

Brecon enjoyed a victorious day out at the national stadium thanks to a hat-trick of tries from full-back Jake Crockett.

The changing face of Andy Powell, the Welsh rugby maverick who found what really mattered in his hometown  

After the game yesterday, Powell described the occasion as one of his career highlights.

"It's a special moment and it's right up there in my career highlights," he said.

"I didn't know who to hug. I was hugging a few Bonymaen boys at the end!"
