Revellers today hit the streets of West Yorkshire to take part in the famous Otley Run pub crawl as Britain basked in temperatures hotter than Ibiza.
The party animals were seen in an array of fancy dress outfits, with many taking inspiration from the newly-elected Pope Leo XIV.
And as they travelled through the 19-stop journey in Leeds, the swathes of youngsters stopped to pose for photographs as the sun beamed down on them.
Some of the most creative costumes on show ranged from attempts at Minnie Mouse to the cast of The Inbetweeners and full suit ‘Minions’ from the Despicable Me film series.
Others, perhaps sensibly dressing for the warmer weather, opted for Hawaiian shirts which they paired with the traditional flower necklace known as a Lei.
In Leeds, temperatures peaked at around 20C between 2-3pm, meaning the North Yorkshire city was as hot as parts of the Balearic islands.

Meanwhile London was today one of the hottest cities in Europe, with its highs of 25C putting the likes of Lisbon, Barcelona and Rome to shame on the thermostat front.
Though it is not all good news for the rest of the weekend on the UK weather map.
Forecasters at the Met Office have warned that thunderstorms, hail and lightning could hit parts of Britain tomorrow.
Most of this is said to affect South Wales and parts of the West Midlands, with Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey saying there could be ‘heavy, short sharp’ bursts of rain and hail and lightning.
He told MailOnline this morning: ‘As is the case with thunderstorms, they’re often quite hit and miss.
‘Obviously it has been a pretty dry spring so for many areas rain is needed, but because of the heavy nature of these showers, splashing onto hard surfaces, there is the potential for minor localised issues and flooding.’
