Partygoers make the most of the three-day weekend as they hit the streets of Liverpool

Warnings of a Bank Holiday washout did not stop determined partygoers from celebrating the long weekend in Liverpool last night.

Scantily-clad revellers were in high spirits as they hit the Merseyside town to make the most of the three-day break – but some were rather worse for wear by the end of the night.

They were pictured stumbling across cobbled streets in high heels and short dresses as they made their way to taxis waiting by the pavement. 

Some were even missing shoes by the end of the night – with others pictured taking a quick nap in the window bay of a late-night takeaway or hitching piggy-back rides from friends.

Others demonstrated what happens when you have a bit too much to drink – and a man was pictured being comforted by his friends on a porch after vomiting.

But some clearly hadn’t let the rain dampen their spirits, embracing and walking arm-in-arm on the city’s cobbled streets.

Friends also made an early attempt to avoid a morning-after hangover – scarfing down a kebab in a late-night takeaway.
