Streets were bustling with tourists along the north Norfolk coast as many headed out for a blast of bank holiday sun.

Blue skies saw beaches packed across the county and extra traffic on the roads, with several of the key routes up to the coast at a standstill throughout the day.

Seafront businesses reported queues of customers, with many looking for a souvenir of the day or an ice cream for a traditional day by the seaside.

Jane Bowyer, at Cromer Gift Shop, said it had been a good day for business with visitors lining the streets.

She said: "It has been busy, there's a lot of people, I'm in the shop so I can't really tell outside but there has been a lot of people around."

He said: "It's been a really busy day today, the front is still really busy now and it's probably going to get busier as the evening goes on.
