Almost the only queue in King s Lynn was in the Tuesday Market Place, where people lined up to wait for their vaccine jabs at the Alive Corn Exchange.
Elsewhere, the town was quiet and there was no stampede to the bar as pubs and restaurants opened to seated customers for the first time in almost five months.
At the 12th Century White Hart Stores on St James Street, landlord Neal Durose was optimistic people would return to the pub, which is one of the town s few live music venues.
Love West Norfolk campaign: So many heroes in our community
Love West Norfolk column, by Lorraine Gore, borough council chief executive
When I wrote my last column, in March last year, the borough council had just launched our summer events season but, unfortunately, days later the first national lockdown was announced.
Now we find ourselves in a new year and in another necessary lockdown. There is light at the end of the tunnel though as vaccinations have been taking place in west Norfolk since mid-December and as the vaccination programme rolls out, I hope to see the return of some normality and, fingers crossed, some of the events that we missed last year.
