Published: 11:27 AM August 24, 2022 Roads in Norfolk and Suffolk will see a procession of lorries this weekend as a charity tradition returns after a two-year hiatus. The East Coast Truckers convoy will pass through Norwich, Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth on Sunday, as lorry drivers take disabled and disadvantaged children to Pleasurewood Hills for a day out they will never forget.

This year’s convoy marks the 35th time such a trip has taken place.
