Norfolk Police said they were called to a report of a “sudden death after a man in his 50s had become unwell” during the event in Diamond Road in Norwich on Sunday afternoon.

An ambulance crew also attended.

Despite medical treatment, the man died at the scene.

A police spokesman said: “The area has been cordoned off while officers investigate the circumstances of the death, which is currently being treated as unexplained.”
