Ahoy me hearties! Crowds of people flocked to Felixstowe over the weekend for two days of swash-buckling pirate fun.

The popular pirates weekend saw a treasure trove of musket firing, a children's trail, live music and costumed characters at Landguard Fort.

Families were encouraged to attend in fancy dress and shiver me timbers - some of them even learned some pirate lingo.

Sunday was also international 'Talk Like a Pirate Day', with people given the chance to learn their landlubbers from their scallywags.

"This has been put together in less than a week so I think they're looking to do a bigger event next year. It has gone down really well."
