Any idea for this one please? Looks like Sand Crocus, but aware this isn't widespread in UK.

Ficedula

velico ergo sum
It was Burnham Overy, the Sea wall. They had 6 petals though? and I'm pretty sure grass like leaves
Ipheion or somewhere close but never seen it with such reflexed tepals, what size across flower? Only one species naturalised in UK - Ipheion [Tristagma] uniflorum

3-4cm diameter. I think you are closest with that. Looking at a quick search on the internet.
Thanks for persevering. it was a bit of a headache for me!

Must be it, I assumed it was smaller than that. Around here it is close to white and very star like. Possibly a garden variety like Wisley Blue?
