PEOPLE took full advantage of glorious sunshine over the Bank Holiday weekend.
It felt great to be out and about enjoying relatively normality again, after a year of 'captivity' during the lockdowns.
Our Camera Club members captured the fun of the long weekend, taking shots of people enjoying Clacton and Mersea.
Nigel Wood also spotted a convoy of bikes and scooters making their way to a meet-up in Walton.
