A 71-year-old woman is said to be in a serious but stable condition after banging her head when she fell over in the centre of Fakenham this morning.

The woman banged her head on a windowsill at the front of the Norwich & Peterborough Building Society on Bridge Street.

She was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge in an air ambulance.

A spokesman for the East Anglian Air Ambulance said her condition was serious but stable.
