Extraordinary drone pictures have captured one of the region's best-loved summertime events as a vast convoy of trucks took over Norfolk and Suffolk roads.
Thousands of people turned out to watch the spectacle as the East Coast Truckers Children's Charity set off on its annual convoy on Sunday, August 25.
Some 90 trucks travelled from Postwick Park and Ride in Norwich, along Thorpe Road and the A47 to Great Yarmouth and then past Gorleston, before stopping at Pleasurewood Hills in Lowestoft for midday.
After spending the afternoon at the theme park, the truckers headed back to Norwich via Great Yarmouth seafront, each chauffering a disabled or disadvantaged child sitting up high in the cab.

The convoy travelled along Marine Parade in the evening.
Police escorted the convoy along the route, allowing the truckers to travel through red lights, roundabouts and junctions.
Supporters came out in droves along the route, clapping and waving at the children and the truckers as they passed through.
