In Pictures: Life on the beach as Britain basks in Easter weekend sunshine

Most of Britain has been enjoying sunny and dry conditions over the Easter weekend, with temperatures tipped to reach 27C in some parts of the country by Monday.

Many people took advantage of the warm weather by heading to the beach on what the Met Office described as a “glorious day”.

It's set to be a glorious day in most areas with lots of 🌞and some very #warm weather 🌡️. The far northwest could see the odd spot of #rain though pic.twitter.com/eZvYTS3B4b
