Ice-skaters outside Hampton Court Palace are rising above the unseasonally warm temperatures which saw a thin layer of water above the melting surface over the weekend.

They even kept on skating when a rainstorm hit on Sunday, venturing onto the rink with ponchos provided by the organisers.

The melting ice doesn't affect the skating. In fact organisers say it makes it a bit easier.

But if you crash to the ground, you will get wet.
