A clear-up operation got under way in Cromer this weekend, following the powerful storm that hit the north Norfolk coast on Friday.

The Pier closed for safety checks, after it was damaged by the impact of the waves. 

A spokeswoman for North Norfolk District Council says they hope to reopen it later today. 

The West Promenade was also damaged, and remains closed. All the other proms are open.

The concerts take place outdoors at the visitor centre in Santon Downham near Brandon.

Olly Murs plays the following night, Friday 30 June - but bad luck if you were hoping for a ticket - it's sold out. Better luck for Saturday, 1 July, when Rick Astley performs at the venue, tickets are still available for this event. 

Tickets for the Elbow concert go on sale, external this Friday at 09:00, and cost £41.50 plus a booking fee.

A column of smoke rises into the sky from a fire burning at a recycling centre. 

Fire crews and police are at the Glazewing recycling plant in West Dereham, which broke out earlier this morning. In the last hour, firefighters have run a water pipe from a nearby river along the approach road to the site.

The blaze is to the right of a three-storey building at the plant.

Fire crews say they expect to be there for the rest of the day, and they advise people living nearby to keep their windows and doors closed.  

Part of the A149 remains closed because of flooding.

The coast road in Cley next the Sea is closed in both directions between the Old Woman's Lane and Cross Street junctions.

This was the scene at the weekend, showing the road under water, and sandbags protecting properties.

The Environment Agency has defended its decision to issue several Severe Flood Warnings along the east coast on Friday.

A combination of spring tides and a tidal surge were expected to bring water over sea walls and barriers in some places. Thousands of people were advised to leave their homes.

But as the storm surge made its way down the Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex coast, the flooding failed to materialise.

Agency spokesman Toby Wilson says an evacuation of the area was the right course of action, given the forecast and predictions.

"To have a storm surge, you need a combination of three events to come together - a high tide, surge and wave action on top of the surge - all of those were forecast on Friday, but at the last moment they came out of time together, so the impacts were not as significant as we were expecting." he said.

A fire at a recycling centre in west Norfolk has led to a warning to people living nearby to keep their windows and doors shut.

Fire crews from Downham Market and Methwold were called to the Glazewing site in West Dereham, external shortly after 03:30. It's unclear if the blaze, involving around 500 tonnes of waste, has been brought under control.

Because of a plume of smoke, residents living downwind of the recycling centre are being advised to keep their windows and doors closed. 

In August, another fire at the site took several days to damp down.
