Celebration and laughter brightened the streets of Norwich as the Lord Mayor's Procession made its way through the city centre. 

Thousands arrived to see the 'Norwich Loves You' themed parade, which featured colourful costumes, giant puppets, performers, fancy dress and much more. 

In Chapelfield Gardens, visitors enjoyed live music from the headline act UK Foo Fighters, with a family-friendly play 'From Norwich with Love' outside The Forum.
