Hundreds of people headed to a newly-launched festival in south Norfolk this weekend, with attendees transported back in time.

The Hingham 1940s Weekend kicked off on Saturday, with the fun continuing from 10am until 4pm today (Sunday, May 21).

It is taking place on the field outside the town's social club, recently rebranded as Abraham's Bar and Club House.

Many people came dressed up and while a scheduled Lancaster Bomber flypast did not go ahead, visitors still had plenty to see and do.

Tom Matthew, the organiser from Apollo Events, said: "We have had a fantastic time meeting people and seeing their passion for the 40s - we expect we had approximately 400 people on site at peak times.

"It is likely to have been some sort of fault with the engines. However, this is yet to be confirmed by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight team.

"We'd like to thank people for their patience and understanding for this and look forward to starting day two tomorrow."
