As the run-up to Christmas gets into high gear, revellers braved freezing temperatures last night to the town for Christmas parties and festive nights out. 

Britain's chilly weather, leading to snow in some areas, failed to deter young people from partying  as they danced the nights away in Newcastle, Leeds, Birmingham and Swansea.

Youngsters decked out in Christmas gear, wearing festive jumpers or dressed up as Father Christmas, elves or the Grinch posed for photos last night as the festive season gets into full swing. 

It comes as the Met Office warned of up to four inches of snow in the Southeast this weekend, as the Troll of Trondheim continues to batter the UK, with London expected to be covered in a blanket of snow with temperatures predicted to plunge as low as -10C.

Seven days of arctic weather, including wintry downpours and 'freezing fog', are expected to hit the UK leading to the Met Office issuing a number of yellow weather warnings for snow and ice across the country.

The cold weather is not expected to deter millions of football fans expected to hit towns across the country tonight as England takes on France in the quarter final of the World Cup in Qatar.
