A coastal community is mourning the loss of an absolute gentleman and the figurehead of its longest-standing family business.
Ron Wright, of Sheringham hardware store Blyth and Wright, has died after a short illness at the age of 89.
Mr Wright, who last April celebrated his 75th year behind the counter, was well-known locally for his fierce loyalty to his home town and his willingness to always go the extra mile for his customers.
And, despite suffering more than his fair share of personal tragedy, the devoted father and grandfather was renowned for his sharp wit and dry sense of humour.
