Ian Brown, the lead singer of the Stone Roses, visited Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden in South Walsham on Friday, June 9.

He was there with his girlfriend and happily posed for pictures with visitors and staff.

"He mentioned that he comes to Norfolk quite often because it is a beautiful place and he likes the peace and quiet - he said he has been to Fairhaven a few times before."
