Fans have descended upon Diddly Squat Farm as Clarkson's Farm 3 hit screens, causing a sensation among viewers. The farm, which catapulted to fame through the Amazon Prime Video series, saw Jeremy Clarkson, 64, welcome an influx of visitors after purchasing 1,000 acres in Oxfordshire.

With the third series debuting on Friday, Saturday saw snaking queues around the farm shop and spilling into the car park under the Bank Holiday sun.

A staff member remarked it was their busiest spell since the previous summer. By 1pm, the car park was at capacity, with numerous cars being turned away.

Fans from as far as the United States, Wales, and Germany made the pilgrimage to the former Top Gear host's agricultural enterprise to mark the new season's launch.
