A string of alerts are in place for parts of Norfolk this morning, but warnings that higher than normal tides could cause flooding in some areas have passed without incident.

The government has issued nine flood alerts in Norfolk, while parts of Suffolk were also braced for flooding.

But so far, the feared flooding has not happened.

A spokeswoman for HM Coastguard said they had not had to deal with incidents in Suffolk and were this morning keeping a watching brief on the situation in Norfolk.

Alerts were in place for the following places, with some remaining in effect:
