For many partygoers it was the first time to catch up with friends since Christmas and enjoy some Spring sunshine.

Shoppers also hit the High Street spending an estimated £1.6 billion in a day.

Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer & Pub Association, said:

“Pubs and pub-goers are looking forward to the first weekend drinks in months.

“We’re beginning to rebuild our businesses and reconnect our communities.”
