National Trust bosses have issued a warning over a popular north west beach as revellers flock to enjoy the sun.
Beach-goers travelling to Formby beach in Merseyside have been warned that both car parks are now full and will be closed for the rest of the day.
Anyone wishing to travel to the beach is now asked to plan their journey using the train. It comes as hot temperatures sweep the UK, with highs of 24C in the north west.

In a Facebook post, the National Trust wrote: "Both car parks are now full and closed for the rest of the day. This is to keep everyone walking across the site safe and to prevent cars queuing.
"Please travel by train or head to alternative beaches nearby. Plan your train journey to Formby here https://bit.ly/41KRd85
"Thank you for your support."
The hot weather is expected to continue tomorrow. However, the Met Office has issued a yellow warning for thunderstorms for much of the west of England between 12pm and 10pm.
