It might be the hottest weekend of the year, but Cromer has been teeming with leather jackets and parka coats, as mods and rockers joined thousands celebrating the swinging sixties.

The town's Vintage Sixties Festival has been in full swing, offering reminders of a bygone era with live music, car displays and stalls.

Saturday's festivities ended with a sell-out concert at the pier by tribute act the Mersey Beatles.

Organiser Deb Lewis said it was "heartwarming" to see so many people keep the faith and embrace a slice of 60s life.

"The promenade and the pier were rammed from 10am until 4pm, so I'd say maybe even the tens of thousands people - some travelling hundreds of miles - showed up for the day."

Ms Lewis described how one scooterist had been out for a quiet solo ride and ended up following a crowd of Vespas and Lamberettas.

It was only when he bought something to eat that he asked where he was.

"It was lovely to see so many people getting together, chatting and doing the thing they love the most," Ms Lewis added.
