A two-day-long beach party is taking place at a coastal village in Norfolk.

This year's annual Hemsby Lifeboat Celebration, taking place over the weekend, will see live music, a bar and a barbecue.

Kicking off on Saturday by Hemsby Gap, music acts Kuiper, Rob and Mandy, Charlie Gallagher and The Modern Classics will be performing live.

Helmsman Chis Batten said: "This is our largest event of the year and we always love to see residents and visitors coming along to say hello.

"This is our opportunity to say a big thank you to those who have supported us over the years."
