It's an event that sees the 1940s roaring back with all the force of a steam locomotive.
And thousands of people will be thrilled to see the return of the North Norfolk Railway's 1940s weekend, which takes place this Saturday and Sunday (September 18-19).
Although the usual parades and activities in the town high streets will not be going ahead this year - they were cancelled months ago because of pandemic restrictions - the NNR's stations at Holt, Sheringham and Weybourne will once again be buzzing with activity.
To celebrate the return of this popular festival, we've put together a gallery of people in some of those fabulous 1940s costumes enjoying themselves in previous years.
