If you were among those who were at Sandhaven or Littlehaven Beach today, Friday, April 2, our photographer Tim Richardson may have caught you on camera.
Coronavirus restrictions were relaxed at the start of this week, allowing people to meet their loved ones outside, or as part of two households.
And the warm weather encouraged many to reunite with family and friends this Bank Holiday weekend.
Check out our Good Friday picture special to see if you can spot any familiar faces.
