Watch: clubbers celebrate the beginning of ‘freedom day’

It’s been a long pandemic for young people – who’ve had their lives put on hold to prevent the spread of a disease which mainly affects the elderly. So one can certainly sympathise with those wanting to let their hair down as Covid restrictions were lifted last night for ‘freedom day’.

That certainly seemed the case in London, where one nightclub even featured a count-down timer to the end of the restrictions, with balloons being released as freedom day began. Clubs, which had been decimated by the lockdown restrictions, were finally able to open legally for the first time last night.

Mr S can only wish those young people all the best.
