Rail enthusiasts and families alike lined platforms, bridges and countryside as a very esteamed visitor puffed into Great Yarmouth.
Dozens came to welcome locomotive A1 Tornado as it brought carriages of tourists to the seaside.
The loco, a Peppercorn A1 Pacific, visited as it pulled UK Railtours 'Easterling' tour, which saw it travel from King's Cross to Great Yarmouth and back.
There were cheers and waves as it steamed into the town, with spectators searching for the ideal vantage point to see the locomotive. Some chose the platform, others Breydon Bridge, others on marshland next to the track, but all kept a sensible distance.
Among those aboard were Ken and Hazel Stanton, who had travelled to London from Rayleigh to enjoy the tour as part of their 45th wedding anniversary celebrations.
Mr Stanton, 68, said: 'It was a wonderful trip, everything went completely to schedule and the weather was perfect.'
