Thousands flock to beaches on UK's hottest day despite COVID-19 warnings

Despite pleas from some councils urging people to stay away, many have visited beaches and parks on the hottest day of the year so far.

Sunbathers and picnickers were spotted taking full advantage of the easing of lockdown restrictions, which since last week have allowed people in England to sunbathe and spend an unlimited amount of time outdoors.

Police in Wales issued fines to drivers making non-essential journeys.
