It was a record-breaking year for attendance as thousands of people flocked to Cromer to watch its dazzling New Year's Day fireworks. 

The 2024 display marked the 24th year of the free family event, with donations from bucket collections funding the 2025 fireworks and going to local charities. 

Activities took place on Monday afternoon, with the North Norfolk Beach Runners' family fun run along the promenade followed by a torchlight procession.

Pat West, chairman of the New Year's Day Fireworks Committee and deputy mayor of Cromer, said: "The attendance was in the region of 15,000 people which is up on previous years - the weather was perfect and luckily we avoided the rain.

"We have had so many positive comments and it was a very successful day."

Speaking about the 25th anniversary next year, he added: "Watch this space - we will have some sort of celebration as the 125th anniversary of Cromer Pier is also coming up."
