Temperatures soared to as high as 23 degrees in some parts of the city.
Tables outside restaurants along Castle Street, Bold Street and in Concert Square were all taken as people met with friends to enjoy an afternoon drink and catch-up ahead of the game.
The government are expected to announce tomorrow if the roadmap out of lockdown will be completed and all remaining restrictions will finally be lifted as planned on June 21.
In the government’s roadmap out of lockdown, that is the date England is due to reach Step 4 when it's hoped all legal limits on social contact will be removed. That means premises including nightclubs will be allowed to reopen, and restrictions on large events and performances will be eased.
