Families could be seen enjoying a right royal knees-up on the first day of celebrations for The Queen's Platinum Jubilee in Norfolk.

From busy street parties to colourful parades and a Spitfire fly-past, thousands made their way to events taking place across the county on Thursday, June 2.

This is the first day of the four-day bank holiday weekend to mark The Queen's 70th year on the throne.

In Holt, the town was awash with Union Jack flags as families got stuck-in with celebrations.

Elsewhere, in Norwich, children got in the Jubilee spirit by making crowns at Norwich Cathedral's Right Royal Day Out and crowds enjoyed the atmosphere at a street party on King Street, hosted by the Last Pub Standing.

The "first citizen" of Winterton, Terry Byrne, MBE, also kicked off Platinum Jubilee celebrations in the village, standing tall on a vintage military jeep as he read the proclamation.

In Great Yarmouth, 27 Friesian horses paraded down the Golden Mile in a special equine tribute and hundreds turned up for the Summer on the Mag event in Gorleston.
