In pictures: Royal Norfolk Show Day One

A two-day annual agricultural event is expected to see a record-breaking amount of school children from across 163 schools.

Held at the Norfolk Showground in Costessey since 1954, organisers of the Royal Norfolk Show say it is expected to attract up to 85,000 people across the two days.

The event will see more than 3,000 animals, 700 trade stands and aims to celebrate the county's farming and livestock.

Mark Nicholas, managing director of the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association, said: "We started to build this town in a field on the edge of Norwich about two weeks ago. It is insane... the next two days are going to be a riot of fun, of colour, noise and people enjoying themselves."

He said about 15,000 school children were due to attend.

Amongst exhibitors are TikTok chef Spud Man, whose real name is Ben Newman, who held a pop up event in the city on Tuesday and appeared at the Suffolk Show in May.

He said: "We are very much about farm to fork and supporting our local farmers. We have Norfolk potatoes on the wagon from a Norfolk farmer.

"We are going to be shouting about Norfolk food all day."
