Brits On Monday Mission

Shopping frenzy for parties

- Ruth McKee

Shoppers are stocking up for barbecue and party fun.

From Monday Brits can enjoy family reunions as coronavirus rules are eased.

And, with a forecast of glorious sunshine, retailers are preparing for a run on barbecue favourites and classic sunshine tipples.

On Monday groups of six people are finally allowed to meet for the first time in months in gardens across England.

And bangers and burgers are flying off the shelves as people prepare for private parties.
