Britain is looking forward to the warmest Easter weekend for 70 years, after enjoying the hottest day of the year so far yesterday.

Temperatures of 74F (23C) were recorded in West Sussex, and things are expected to heat up even more as the bank holiday continues, with London likely to hit 25C (77F) tomorrow.

A Met Office forecaster said: 'It's going to be dry, bright and sunny for nearly everybody this weekend. Temperatures are expected to reach into the 20s every day of the four-day break.
