Performance poet Bradley Taylor, of Birmingham, said he rarely got to see the sea, so watching the sunrise at Lowestoft with hundreds of other people was “very, very special”.
Project manager Jo Leverett admitted she hadn’t had much sleep before the early wake-up but said the sunrise was nevertheless “absolutely gorgeous and really, really special”.
“I think we had about 2,000 people come down for our wonderful dawn celebration – we had music, we had singing,” she added.
“There is something really special that draws people down to it, because it is the first light that we get here.”
