A seaside town looks set to live up to its sunny nick-name as it gets set for a bumper carnival weekend.

Temperatures are tipped to top 20C in Hunstanton over the weekend, with thousands of visitors expected to pack into the resort.

Sunday sees the town's famous carnival procession, with floats and participants in fancy dress leaving the 'Rec on Cromer Road at 1pm, to parade through the town to The Green.

Last year's event, themed around the King's Coronation, was the biggest for many years in the town.
