Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp was in King's Lynn yesterday - or at least his look-alike, Darren Potter, AKA Captain Jack Sparrow, was.
The dead ringer for the movie star, who has appeared on TV's Britain's Got Talent, opened a children's pirate play area at Howard Junior School in King's Lynn.
Headteacher Gregory Hill said: 'We have built the largest pirate ship in the region, which the whole class can fit into. Can you imagine the surprise for the children meeting Johnny Depp on a pirate ship? The whole school was dressed up as pirates and the children have been researching pirates in lessons.'
Pupil Alyssa Swinger, eight, said: 'It's been awesome. We got to ask him some questions. He was very funny.
'I asked him how many adventures he'd been on, and he said 147. I was going to ask him another question - why he looked so young if he's been on so many adventures - but I didn't have time.'
