This spring is so far ranking at the driest in over a century, according to the Met Office.

While there have been a few rainy spells in the north-east of England and Cumbria, it has mainly been dry and bright.

Our Weather Watchers were out and about across the region capturing the sunny scenes.

Here are some of our favourites.
