Britons have been enjoying nights out across Britain over the Bank Holiday Weekend and paying no mind to social distancing rules.

In Leeds, people were hugging and dancing together as buskers played music in the street.

Around four million people were ordered on July 30 not to mix with other households in Greater Manchester, the biggest city in northern England, parts of West Yorkshire and East Lancashire, though they could still go to the pub and to work.
Lockdown restrictions will be lifted in parts of Greater Manchester, Lancashire and West Yorkshire, where coronavirus cases have decreased.
From next week, more than one million people can meet family and friends from different households, with social distancing, for the first time in more than a month.
