British film legend Bill Nighy has been spotted enjoying a trip to a Suffolk seaside town. 

The Love Actually star has been pictured with volunteers at Aldeburgh Carnival, which is taking place this weekend. 

Mr Nighy posed for photos with one of the volunteers at the pop-up shop.

The 74-year-old has a long associated history with the seaside town, having owned a home in the area for a number of years. 

Last year saw him narrate a Channel 5 series which explored the Suffolk coast and countryside. 

Aldeburgh Carnival is one of the most popular events in the county, and this year is turning back time to the 1980s. 

Beginning on Saturday, various events are taking place, including live music, a 10k run on Sunday, before it is rounded off by the main carnival on Monday.
