Boozy revellers hit the town for a festive night out last night as Brits get ready for Christmas.
Partygoers were out in force in towns and cities across the UK as they got into the holiday spirit before spending Christmas with their nearest and dearest.
Many donned Christmas jumpers and Santa hats as they got into the festive spirit, staying out late and making the most of the countdown to the big day.
In Leeds and Newcastle, young people were seen enjoying themselves at pubs and bars around the city, in scenes echoed across the country.
Many were wrapped up in coats and scarves to avoid the winter chill, although some brave souls bore all in dresses and skirts.
There are sure to be a few sore heads this morning as families make the final preparations for Christmas Day.
