More than 20,000 people flocked to Felixstowe seafront on Sunday to view a spectacular display of art that stretched along the promenade.
Art on the Prom saw more than 120 artists showcase their work between the newly-refurbished pier and the Spa Pavilion.
Stephen Wyatt, one of the event’s organisers, said the event, now in its 14th year, has been a huge success.
“It has gone absolutely brilliantly, it has been packed from the beginning to the end,” he said.
“It is out best event ever.
“And the weather has been great, much better than forecast.
“It has been really positive, there has been a real buzz about the place.
