People made the most of the sunshine at Swindon's parks this afternoon as spring-like weather came to the town a few weeks early. 

Families headed to some of the town's most popular hotspots to bask in the conditions during the third national lockdown.

Lockdown rules mean people should only leave home to shop for essentials, go to work or go for daily exercise. 

People at Queen's Park sat on the benches and pavement in front of the lake while others camped out on the green space next door. 

Swindon Advertiser:

Town Gardens saw all of its benches occupied as the cafe served ice creams and drinks to customers.
