Today at work I went to wish Norfolk's oldest resident a happy 108th birthday. We ended up playing cards.

Genna remains fun, friendly and spectacularly straight-talking. Don't miss her on @itvanglia tonight.

When 250 dogs were rescued from one squalid home, the images were so shocking some thought they'd been faked. This is the story of the oldest dog in that house...

'Saving Gracie' - how a lovely Norfolk couple in their 80s found their perfect pooch.

What an incredible day at Portman Road:

A real privilege to be there as @IpswichTown sealed promotion.

Interviews here with George Hirst, Anis Mehmeti, Kieran McKenna and some bloke called Ed Sheeran.

Enjoy, #itfc fans!

In a corner of West Norfolk lies a colour-soaked kingdom. A poser’s promised land, where pouts are plentiful and profile pictures peak.

I spent my morning amongst 9.1 million tulips & hordes of selfie-hunters for @itvanglia.

🌷Tulips for Tapping as wonderful as ever🌷

Shrouded in demolition dust, an 81-year-old grandmother watches her home being torn down on Norfolk's crumbling cliffs... for the second time.

We have followed Bryony's story for many years - more from her on @itvanglia at 6pm.

Here's a little film we made with them for @itvanglia 👇

🤡👑 The Rastellis are clowning royalty 👑🤡

They've performed for the pope, alongside the likes of Ken Dodd & Tommy Cooper - and all across the world.

Now in their 70s, the brothers have been tempted out of retirement... and they're currently in Norfolk.

In a new documentary, ITV News Anglia's @RobSetchell looks at the impact coastal erosion is having on two communities in Norfolk - and asks what the future holds for them. https://t.co/4yZAwL7dq7

[Becky Jago @beckyjagotv]

This week we were live from our coast, looking at communities at risk from erosion.
@RobSetchell has produced this heart-breaking documentary. It also explores whether there's anything we can actually do about it...

@BritGeoSurvey @Jenny4SuffCoast @Steffanaquarone @RupertLowe10 And if you want to hear more about the people, the politics and the science behind this issue - do watch our full doc 👇

[Rob Setchell @RobSetchell]

Communities lots of us love are falling into the sea.

For more than a decade, we've followed the stories of people living on the edge of Norfolk's crumbling coast.

We've collated them in an @itvanglia doc 'Against the Tide' - now available on @ITVX.

[Rob Setchell @RobSetchell]

@BritGeoSurvey As MPs, including @Jenny4SuffCoast, @Steffanaquarone & @RupertLowe10, continue to hear about the human cost of coastal erosion - these are some reflections on a decade of destruction.

Is it fair to leave these places in a constant cycle of despair?
