Brits continue to pack into parks and open spaces despite pleas to stay at home amid warnings further deaths will come if Covid-19 continues to spread.
Today people were seen sunbathing as temperatures soared to 26C.
This comes despite a stark warning that the UK's death toll - which on Friday was higher than that of Italy and Spain on their worst days - will continue to rise.
Tragically 980 deaths were confirmed by the Department for Health in just 24 hours yesterday afternoon - and this only includes those who died in hospitals.
Hero nurses and doctors - who are putting their lives at risk every day - have pleaded with the public to stay home and prevent further deaths.

Hero nurses and doctors - who are putting their lives at risk every day - have pleaded with the public to stay home and prevent further deaths.
Since March 23, Brits have been banned from leaving their homes for non-essential travel or exercise - and health chiefs have been clear that sitting in the sun is no longer allowed as the UK grapples with the pandemic.
Nevertheless pictures today show police having to speak to people lounging on the grass in London parks.
England's Chief Nursing Officer Ruth May yesterday said she was "extremely frustrated" that people are still not obeying lockdown rules.
She said: "It's very, very frustrating, personally frustrating to see people clearly not doing social distancing and coming out in large groups.
"There's also still occasions where my colleagues are getting abuse from their neighbours for driving off to work.
"Our nurses need to be able to get to work, but I ask of everyone please stay at home, save lives and protect my staff."
And at yesterday's Number 10 briefing, Health Secretary Matt Hancock added: "We must all play our part. Spreading the virus today risks lives tomorrow."
Officials have warned that people refusing to follow instructions to stay at home will cause the lockdown go on for longer.
Earlier today Mirror Online reported that an NHS hero had shared a video of herself confronting a group of abusive young "idiots" she spotted flouting lockdown rules.
The nurse, a mum of two, shared a video of the group gathering in a park in Basingstoke, Hampshire - with some leveling abuse at her as she tried to move them on.
She spotted the youngsters sipping beer and gave them a piece of her mind.
In a video shared on Facebook, the nurse is heard saying: "I have to go to work every day fearing I am going to be [a risk] to my family because of people like you!
"You are absolute idiots."
Boats are set to be deployed today in order to disperse groups and people who see themselves as above the rules on beaches around the UK.
Devon and Cornwall's deputy chief constable Paul Netherton told The Times: "Marine fleets from bases in Portsmouth and Plymouth will be operating along the Dorset , Devon and Cornwall coastlines ensuring people do not gather unnecessarily on beaches.
"They have tannoy and can tell people to move on."
