Revellers across the country celebrated the first full day of the long weekend by partying into the early hours yesterday.

Britons made the most of the glorious weather for the three-day Spring Bank Holiday and carried on their celebrations into the night as the country basked in temperatures up to 73F (23C).

Many party-goers dressed in their finest to hit up the boozy establishments of Blackpool for the festivities.

But it appears some took on more than they could handle and ended the night slumped on pavements and being carried home by friends after a long day of drinking.

Paramedics were on hand to help those struggling at the end of the night and supportive friends carried each other home after the exuberant celebrations.

Expect more of the same today even though the weather looks to take a turn with showers predicted across the country.
