A record breaking number of people took a step back in time as part of a 1940s themed weekend at the East Anglia Transport Museum.

Over 950 visitors joined to celebrate the 'roaring 40s' – after a successful inaugural event was held last year.

Volunteers at the museum, on Chapel Road in Carlton Colville, donned themed outfits – with entertainment coming in the form of the Jive Bunnies.

There was also the chance to view and ride transport from yester-year and make the most of a free park and ride service to and from the museum.

Willow Houghton, publicity officer, said: 'We were lucky enough to have many visiting vehicles including a Bristol LL, a Wolseley 9, a Hillman Minx, Land Rovers', an Austin Carlton and many more.

Visitors to the museum were also able to ride some of the fleet's diverse collection including trams, trolleybuses and the narrow gauge railway – with the addition of a free vintage bus service to and from Beccles and Lowestoft.
