South Bucks basked in glorious sunshine yesterday as temperatures soared on one of the hottest September days in history.

Sunbathing, ice creams and pub beer gardens were the order of the day for most as people of all ages enjoyed the unusually hot weather.

Our photographers were out and about capturing all the smiling faces in the Hughenden area and on The Rye throughout the sweltering afternoon.

Britain's Indian summer sizzled with temperatures reaching around 31C in the South East.

The high temperatures predicted means that Britain was as warm as Bangkok in Thailand, and hotter than forecasts for Madrid and Los Angeles.
