High tides at Sheringham allowed crowds a close-up view of the area's lifeboats as they took part in a special display in the waters just off the beach.
The town's Atlantic 85 was joined by the Cromer's Tamar and D-Class vessels, as well as the Shannon-class, from Wells-next-the-Sea, for a joint demonstration.

The event, on Sunday, coincided with high tide, allowing the boats to come in extremely close to the shore, giving spectators close-up views.

Along with the displays, visitors enjoyed a teddy tombola, refreshments, and a stall selling painted pebbles created by long-time RNLI supporter, Elias Fenn.
Elias, who has selling his unique designs through the year, raised £328 on Lifeboat Day.

Chris Taylor, Sheringham lifeboat helmsman, said: “Elias is an incredible young man.
“This is now the third year he has sold his beautiful painted pebbles to raise money for the RNLI.
“We are all very grateful and inspired by his dedication and artistic talent.”
The winners of the Sheringham RNLI poetry competition were also announced and awarded prizes. There were recitals of the winning poems from each category.
The day continued with a special performance by the Sheringham Shantymen, attended by a large and enthusiastic crowd, and concluded with the traditional annual lifeboat service.

Brian Farrow, Sheringham RNLI lifeboat operations manager, said: “We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all who made the day possible.
“I have never seen such numbers of people on the promenade for our Lifeboat Day.
“A combination of perfect weather and tidal conditions, and the support of our flank stations at Wells and Cromer ensured everyone got to see the capabilities of our crews, the boats and launching equipment.”
