Norwich city centre was bustling on Saturday as people made the most of the first day of sunshine in weeks.
While the latest lockdown restrictions easing went ahead on May 17, the weather has been largely wet and windy since.

But the promise of a sunny bank holiday weekend saw family and friends reunite in the city, with plenty of people filling up beer gardens.
Bats may conjure images of dark, dank caves, but they can actually be found all over Los Angeles freeway underpasses, industrial hubs and, it turns out, in our own back yards.
That is in part why the Natural History Museum of L.A. County is asking for the public s help as part of its Backyard Bat Survey, which is billed as the first large-scale study of how the flying mammals make use of urban and suburban habitats. It would be difficult, the museum notes, for researchers to gain access to so much private property on their own.
Researchers hope that better data on these understudied habitats will help inform land planning and conservation decisions, and maybe inspire residents to take more interest in and better care of their local environment.
