Before and after pictures of Norfolk show hot weather's impact

Aerial footage has shown the impact the prolonged hot and dry spell of weather has had on the countryside.

The pictures contrast green landscapes in Norfolk before this summer, with the same areas looking yellow and parched just weeks later.

July saw temperature records broken multiple times and rainfall is down 76% in England.

The Met Office said the east of England and the south east had seen the most extreme conditions.
