Mr Warminger, from Norwich, said: 'We have been having a great time. We just like it all. It's a nice thing to see in the city.'

Rahim Ali, 31, and his partner Aki Begum, 23, who live in the city centre, were also at the park with their children Aria, six months, and Kaya, five.

At Maui Waui on the Green, at St Gregory's Green, there was a real festival vibe as people enjoyed listening to the music acts which started with Pirate Joe.

Rae Harris, 31, from King Street, Norwich, was there with her two-year-old daughter Lillian.

She said: 'I always look forward to the summer in Norwich. It seems to be any excuse for a party and the Lord Mayor's never fails to celebrate it all. There's always a variety and my little one loves it. I like the music and she likes the music - any excuse to dance!'
