People living in parts of the Norfolk Broads have been told to "act now" as flooding is expected to hit.
The Environment Agency issued the red flood warning for The River Thurne including Hickling Broad this morning.
It comes as high tides at Great Yarmouth have prevented water from running out of the Broads river systems resulting in higher-than-normal water levels

An amber flood alert was also issued for the Rivers Bure and Ant running from Breydon Water all the way to Horsea.
A spokesman for the Environment Agency said: "We are not currently expecting the situation to escalate.
"Be ready to take action to protect your property if flooding is expected.
"Take care on waterside roads and footpaths and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger."
