Manchester Airport staff got some much-needed relief from the heat as an ice cream van arrived on the tarmac to deliver treats.
The van was spotted at terminal one of the airport by Twitter user @philipsconnell, who said staff were not paying for their ice creams and that the tab appeared to have been paid for in advance.

It came the day after Manchester, like much of the rest of the country, experienced unusually hot weather in a summer heatwave.
Temperatures in Manchester reached highs of 35C (95F) on Thursday, but there was a drop of around 10 degrees on Friday.
