The annual Children’s Convoy arrived at the resort at around 6pm, on its return leg from Pleasurewood Hills to Norwich.
A cacophony of horns signalled the arrival of the 84 lorry cabs, which had ferried children with special needs on an exciting day out to the theme park.
And spectators said the truckers should be praised for their good work.
Richard Wass, a security guard from Yarmouth, turned out to the event with his grandchildren Jasmine, six and Jack, nine.

The care I was receiving from social services in 2010 was utterly degrading and dehumanising

A woman who took social services to court, saying a lack of care to help with her multiple sclerosis was “utterly degrading and dehumanising”, has had a £9,500 out-of-court settlement.
Jan Sutton, 41, took Norfolk County Council to judicial review in June 2011 .
“The care I was receiving from social services in 2010 was utterly degrading and dehumanising. It left me trapped in bed and wanting to die. Taking legal action seemed to be the only way I could preserve my life.”
Review of stroke services across Norfolk and wider region
A major review of stroke services could lead to changes to patients’ care in Norfolk.

Significant improvements have been made over the past four years in stroke services, which include stroke, transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) and rehabilitation services.
However, NHS Midlands and East has launched the review as it believes that despite having a network of stroke specialists, there are still gaps in care.
The review could see new hyper-acute stroke units established, or it could lead to specialist consultants working across more than one hospital.
However, it is still in the early stages and the current services offered by each NHS trust will be looked at in detail by an expert advisory panel, which will make recommendations for improvements. Final proposals for the new shape of services are expected between October and January, 2013, with a view to implementing the changes later in the year.
