Mr Sutton s son Chris took to social media to thank those who paid their respects.
He posted: A huge thank you from my mum and all the family to the people who on Monday stood by the roadside in Horsford, outside Drayton CC and Hellesdon High School to pay their respects and applaud my dad on his final journey. We are all so proud of him. Thank you it meant so much.

A former Norwich City teammate of Mike Sutton has paid a heart-warming tribute to him, as he shared an anecdote of a good-natured prank on tour.
Tributes have been flooding in for the former footballer, who was also a keen cricketer and PE teacher at Hellesdon High School after his playing days ended.
