Blast From The Past: Hemsby Rock N' Roll Weekender (PICTURES)
|

Teddy boys and rockabilly girls descended upon the Norfolk seafront this weekend to celebrate the 25th bi-annual Hemsby rock n’ roll weekender.

Held at the Seacroft Holiday Site, the sold out weekend saw participants go back in time to relive the 40s and 50s, with fashion, music and entertainment.

Cadillacs, motorbikes and other vintage automobiles took to the sleepy seaside roads, while Elvis impersonators and dancers hit the dance floor to hop, bop, jive and rock n' roll.
