From jousting displays to foot races with drink-laden trays, all the traditional highlights of Cromer Carnival have returned after a three-year absence.

Thousands of people have flocked to the town for carnival week, which has not gone ahead since 2019 due to the pandemic.

People lined the ramp in front of Cromer Pier on Sunday for the crowning of Miss Cromer - Amy Gibson - and her 'royal family'.

And Adriana Adamescu from the Hotel de Paris was among the winners of the waiters and waitresses races on the Esplanade on Monday.

There was plenty of action at the Runton Road carnival site today (Wednesday), including a fun fair, sword fighting and jousting displays and a demonstration by the daring motorcyclists of Bolddog FMX.

The world-renowned Red Arrows arrived in the skies at lunchtime.

The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team had originally intended to carry out a full display of their aerial skills.

But low-hanging cloud and dull skies forced the team, based at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, to rethink their plans, and they carried to a fly-by of the town instead.

The carnival parade takes place through the high street from 7pm this evening (Wednesday).
