It’s been on everyone's lips ever since news broke that Banksy himself was behind the mysterious artwork appearing across the region.

The world-renowned artist really put his stamp on the area with his work appearing across East Anglia, but what do residents and tourists think of his work?

Sue Bate, 56, from Fakenham said: “It is great to have and I think it will bring a lot of interest to these areas, and that is a good thing.”

Lesley Burke, 58 from Bradford said: “We went to the Cromer one, but it was all boarded up. So sadly we did not see it ourselves. We think it is interesting and it is a good thing, it is also saying something with it. We came all the way from Bradford to look at it, so it is going to help tourism.”
