Beacons will blaze tonight as Norfolk pulls out all the stops to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

More than 80 lightings large and small are planned across the Norfolk, from stately homes to farmers' fields and from cliff-tops to market squares.

One of the largest events will be at the Queen's Sandringham Estate, where a beacon will be lit at dusk. The event is fully-booked.

A special Platinum Jubilee Challenge can also be entered on the website. It was conceived as a tribute to the late Duke of Edinburgh, whose own award scheme has been so influential on the lives of generations of young people.

It consists of four challenges - physical, sustainable, learning and celebration. Those completing them will earn a Platinum Jubilee Challenge Award badge and certificate.

Celebrations across Norfolk will continue after the Platinum Jubilee weekend.
