THIRSTY Brits have already hit the streets to kick off their four-day Easter Bank Holiday weekend.
The masses across the country were quickly making their way into the pubs last night, starting their boozy bonanzas early.
Many donned costumes - with everything from tiaras and bunny ears, to onesies and video game characters spotted on the streets of Leeds.
Some revellers already had beers in hand, while others were still making their way into the pubs and nightclubs ahead of the Bank Holiday.
The groups all happily posed for the camera, leaping on each other and pulling their pals in for the snap.

In Leicester, it was the same story.
Crowds flocked to the streets with their mates, showing off their best outfits.
It was no different in Newcastle - even if it was raining.
The jolly antics are expected to last for a number of days, with revellers having Easter Monday off, too.
On a less cheerful note, Brits across the country face travel chaos this weekend.
It's expected 17 million drivers will get behind the wheel on Good Friday, leaving motorways gridlocked.
Rail travellers also face major disruption over the entire weekend.
Huge queues at Dover saw families sitting bumper to bumper for hours on end as they waited to board ferries.
Their cross-Channel agony deepened when they arrived in Calais to face near identical delays at passport control.
