RNLI Fest was roaring success at Golden Lion in Hunstanton
Crowds turned out to enjoy and afternoon of live music, food, drink and fun activities organised by a Norfolk lifeboat crew.
Acts including Sirens at the Helm, The Whickers and Nelson's Shantymen pulled all the stops out, while the bars and hog roast were busy all day as locals and visitors enjoyed one of the seaside town's last big outdoor events of the summer.
There were also activities including rope throwing and beat the pager, where contestants raced to see how quickly they get kitted up in crew clothing.
