BBC Weather Watchers have been out in force as the East of England experienced high temperatures.

From a dog enjoying a trip to the beach to a sunset across a lake, people were making the most of the warm weather and trying to stay cool.

An amber heat health alert has been issued for the region, and a second heatwave is forecast over the weekend.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said the warning was in force from 12:00 BST on Friday until 18:00 BST on Tuesday, with the warmest weather expected on Sunday and Monday.

The Met Office said temperatures could hit about 30C (about 86F) across the East of England on Monday.
