The British are experiencing some hot and sunny seasons this holiday weekend, as families take a brisk walk for a break they deserve. Mercury could reach 17 degrees Celsius in southern England on Monday and winds are expected to remain weak for most, the Met Office predicts.

There was so much unrest at Manchester Airport around the beginning of April that calls were made for police intervention. Travelers said they waited hours to pick up their suitcases, while others said queues for safety were merging with the check-in line.
