Huge crowds descended on the UK's coastline as the Bank Holiday getaway caused long tailbacks on some motorways across the country today. Beaches in Dorset and Sussex were filled today as people enjoyed the first long weekend since lockdown restrictions were eased earlier this month. The pleasant weather marks a welcome break from the rain that has dominated the UK since the start of the month. Parts of Scotland and northern England even saw snow at the beginning of the month when temperatures of -5.5C were recorded.
