Thursday 2 June 2022 04:10 AM Britons hit the pubs as they start early raising a glass (or two) to Her Majesty trends now
Revellers were out in force across Britain on Wednesday night as they sought to take full advantage of the four-day weekend to mark the Queen's historic Platinum Jubilee.
Young Brits were pictured donning shorts and short-sleeved shirts in the likes of chilly Newcastle, while the streets of Soho in central London were packed with punters gathering outside pubs.
One group of lads, rocking garish Hawaiian holiday shirts, chanted as they walked to their local watering hole in Jesmond, Newcastle, with one party goer pictured slung over the shoulder of his pal.
Others were dressed in warmer attire as they raised a glass to Her Majesty's 'Platty Joobs' - as it has been dubbed on social media - on the terraces of local pubs and bars.
The jovial mood was also felt in Birmingham, where bouncers joked with revellers as they donned face masks depicting the Queen - who is celebrating 70 years in power this weekend.
Meanwhile, in Leeds, youngsters posed under rows and rows of Union Jack bunting while one was seen taking a disco nap on a bench.
