Two bunches of flowers have been left on temporary railings put up at the junction of Heydon Road on the B1145 in Cawston, between Reepham and Aylsham.

The driver of the car, a man in his 50s, died at the scene after his silver Mercedes left the road and crashed into a fence and wall.

The accident happened at around 8.40pm on Sunday May 19, and saw the car stop above the popular Marriott's Way trail.

Residents in the village have paid tribute to the man via social media.
