It's one of those nights when everyone lets their hair down - and by
the looks of these pictures, May Day in Newcastle was one to remember.

of revellers hit the buzzing streets of Toon to celebrate the May Bank

These pictures show some of the highlights - and lowlights - of one of the busiest nights of the year in Tyneside.
They joined crowds of people taking advantage of some of the warmest days of the year so far.
And there's more on the way, as a heatwave has been forecast for parts of the country this week.
According to the Met Office most of the UK will experience 20C temperatures by Thursday - just beating the 19C predicted in the Spanish city of Valencia
