Bank vacation booze up! Revellers paint the city pink for lengthy weekend
Revellers across the UK have painted the town red as they went out to celebrate the long Bank Holiday weekend in city centres.
Funlovers took to the streets in daring outfits on a sun-soaked day when temperatures reached a balmy 18C.
But the Bank Holiday weather is due to turn on Sunday, with thunderstorms set to pelt parts of England and Wales with 20-30mm of rain.
In Leeds, groups could be seen dressed up in fancy dress as they headed to the city’s many bars and pubs for a drink out as friends on Saturday.

Saturday night was certainly the right time for a night out, as the weather may scupper plans for the rest of the weekend.
More than an inch of rain could fall in just one hour as thunderstorms lash parts of England and Wales, forecasters have warned.
Slow-moving showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop on Sunday afternoon, with 20-30mm of rain due to hit.
Hail and lightning strikes may also occur, with people warned to expect possible flooding, travel delays and power cuts.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning from midday until 8pm across much of central and northern England and the north east of Wales.

Forecaster Kathryn Chalk said: ‘There could be some disruption, especially for people travelling or out trying to enjoy the bank holiday weekend.
‘So I’d say definitely keep an eye out on that. Some southern areas of England may also see a few heavy downpours, perhaps even the odd rumble of thunder as well.’
She added: ‘It’s just a more unsettled weather regime where the air’s unstable and with more heating in the land it helps develop a storm.’
Saturday was dry and warm for many.
A mix of ‘sunshine and showers‘ will be the case for many on bank holiday Monday, with drier conditions possible in parts of Wales, Northern Ireland and south-west England in the afternoon.
