Palm Sunday this year was marked in traditional fashion throughout the towns and villages of Norfolk and Waveney, with processions winding their way through the streets en route to church services.
It has been uplifting to see a large numbers of people keen to gather for the beginning of Holy Week, with a range of pictures below sharing some of the highlights in our Diocese:
