Elated Brits hit the town to celebrate Easter weekend and party ahead of bank holiday Monday

BRITS made the most of the Easter Sunday sunshine as they crammed into the pubs and bars.

Revellers up and down the country put on their best fancy dress and partied with pals ahead of another day off on Monday.

As the UK basked in sunshine, daytime drinkers were out in force in Leeds as partygoers made the most of the long weekend.

Some had made huge efforts to dress up in fancy dress with everything from Fred Flintstone to a hot dog sausage making an appearance.

Boozy Brits sank pints in the sunshine and were in good spirits as they posed up for the camera in their best outfits.

Groups of girls ditched their winter coats and dressed up in summer dresses and high heels as the UK really started to experience some Springtime weather.

While some queued up to get into their favourite boozer, others looked like they had already indulged a bit too much, with some worse-for-wear revellers sitting on the floor and resting on benches.

A large group of mates had gone all out with their fancy dress, with one dressed as a banana and another as Austin Powers.

No doubt there will be some sore heads tomorrow morning, but as the weather is set to turn on Monday, that might not bother too many people.

According to the Met Office large swathes of the country will be hit with downpours tomorrow making for a wet and miserable bank holiday Monday.

Despite the rain temperatures are still expected to be around 16C, but the blustery showers may put many off venturing outside.
