Video has appeared on social media of police outside a Tesco in Great Yarmouth as a long queue of shoppers stand outside the supermarket.

Harry Christopher Towers, 21, captured the footage on Sunday morning (March 22) outside Tesco Extra, off Pasteur Road.

Mr Towers said there were a number of police officers outside the store, where a long queue had formed from before 9am.

Mr Towers, who works in Potters Resort, which closed earlier this week, had hoped to buy some fish food - but the queue was so long he went home.
