Bus engers were evacuated from a double-decker shortly before it went up in flames.

The Norfolk Fire Service was called to Beaconsfield Road in Great Yarmouth - close to Northgate Primary School - at about 12:35 BST on Thursday.

A First Bus East spokesperson said: "The driver became aware that there was an issue with the vehicle and acted swiftly to evacuate all engers."

The spokesperson confirmed no-one was injured and an investigation into how the fire started was under way.
