A celebration to mark the purchase of a wooden seat dedicated to West Runton Women's Institute stalwart Kitty Pearson has been held at the village railway station.
A Runtons and District WI committee member for nearly 40 years, Kitty, who died in 2007, was twice president of the group.
She was also a founder member of a station adopter team which transformed a patch of overgrown land into an award-winning garden.
The bench, which was bought with part of a bequest left by Kitty to the Norfolk Federation of Women's Institutes, was dedicated in Kitty's memory by her best friend and fellow former Runtons WI president Mary Denton.
