Prehistoric bones discovered on a North Norfolk beach are to be displayed near to where they were found.

The bones, thought to belong to a prehistoric long tusked elephant, will go on show at Sea View Café in West Runton.

The find was made earlier this month by amateur paleontologist John Clayden, who has combed the beach at West Runton since 1982.

The bones were delicately removed from under the cliff face with help from fellow fossil enthusiasts Dan Chamberlain and Jonathan Stewart.

The café currently houses the replicas of the famous West Runton Mammoth discovered in 1990 by Margaret Hems and her husband Harold.
