The spirit of the 1940s returned to north Norfolk for a weekend of nostalgia on the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway.
Thousands of people flocked to the Wells at War event which featured music from the era, re-enactments and activities, a vehicle display and a flypast by a Second World War-era Hurricane fighter.
Nick Champion, the railway’s managing director, said he was delighted with the turn-out to the weekend, which has become an annual event at the attraction dubbed the world’s smallest public railway.
He said: “The trains have been full and we’ve had a record number of visitors.
“This isn’t about looking at things through rose-tinted glasses - nostalgia helps ground us in a complicated world today and helps us build bridges to the future.
“And I think people just love the style of those days.
“Everyone valued the worth of things a bit more. People hark back to that and feel a great affection for it.”
