The sun was out and the sky was blue, crowds enjoyed a lovely day two of the Royal Norfolk Show as these photos show.

After a damp end to Wednesday, show-goers enjoyed a perfect start to Thursday and a sterling effort from staff ensured the Showground was in good condition despite the earlier downpours.

It was a busy second day at the Showground with the sun bringing the crowds out and indications are that footfall is up on last year for both adults and children.
