As Dereham Carnival announces a one-off change for this year's festivities, the Times has searched the archives for photographs of celebrations from years gone by.

Do you recognise anyone from these photos? Or do you have any interesting stories from previous carnival events? Maybe some of these photos will stir up some exciting memories from your time spent in the parade.

This will be the fourth time the event has been put on following its revival after a 22-year gap.

The event typically takes the format of a fun run ahead of the parade through the town, followed by an afternoon of activities and music on the town's recreation ground.
