A crowd gathered on Tuesday when a boat became stuck underneath a bridge.

An eyewitness said the incident happened on Wroxham Bridge on the Norfolk Broads at about 14:20 BST on Tuesday, and the vessel was freed after 30 minutes.

A spokesperson for the Broads Authority said the boat was freed without its assistance.

"A hire vessel was stuck under Wroxham Bridge yesterday afternoon. It was assisted through by a tug vessel, and all crew were unharmed," they added.

"The authority was not involved in the recovery of the vessel."
