Razz the clown demonstrated one of this year's hottest summer looks on Cromer beach.

With a nod to the season's nautical trend, he welcomed the sunshine in his new floor-length red and white swimsuit- complete with oversized clown boots.

Malcolm Emery, known professionally as Razz, posed with fellow performer Auntie Pearl by the sea to say hello to the summer sun with a 'bang'.

'I just wanted to say here comes the summer. Come and enjoy the fun on the north Norfolk coast and the beaches,' said Mr Emery.

He purchased his costume from Olivia's of Sheringham - who specialise in elegant outfits.

Sixty-five-year-old Mr Emery, an official match day clown for Norwich City Football Club, said he spotted it in a winter sale and thought 'that's just right for me to go swimming in the summer'.
