Sunshine on the warmest day of the year so far, with 18.6°C, has been provisionally recorded at Kew Gardens.
Photos from St James Park, where all the daffodils are out in the spring sunshine in winter.
This is the highest February temperature since 2019, when it reached 19.2 at Heathrow.

Just returned from the incredible Venice Carnival, a 12-day celebration filled with amazing people, exquisite costumes, breathtaking scenery, delightful food, frequent rain, warm sunshine, and bustling crowds, along with high tide flooding.
