People were taking advantage of the decent weekend weather, with temperatures rising above 20C in some parts of the country.

Hundreds were pictured queueing up at clubs, with no need to worry about how they would get through work today (Monday, May 6) with a sore head. Others were seen tucking into kebabs and chips in a bid to power themselves through what was sure to be a big night.
