Crowds flocked to watch as a boat became stuck under a Norfolk Broads bridge.

Witnesses reported hearing a "big crash" as the vessel got lodged beneath the Wroxham Bridge at around 2.15pm on Tuesday.

They said it remained there until another boat pulled it free half an hour later.

During that time, crowds of around 50 people gathered on top of the footbridge and the surrounding banks.

They hung around in anticipation and eventually let out a cheer as it was set free.

Louis Baron, who was fishing in the river at the time, captured the ordeal on video.

His footage shows the scale of the audience and the celebration that erupted as the boat was released.
