A 249m carrier ship has made its way to Norfolk and is the largest vessel to ever enter a town's port.

Yeoman Bridge, also known as Big Red, arrived at Great Yarmouth's Outer Harbour yesterday from Glensanda in the highlands of Scotland.

Built in 1991, it is the largest self-discharging bulk carrier of its kind and it has delivered granite from Scotland.
