THOUSANDS of boozy Brits defied the party-pooping pandemic and dressed up in their mad-rags for the Benidorm fancy dress day.
Despite Covid-19 raging across Europe, an estimated 20,000 partygoers were determined to have fun where they could at the infamous Costa Blanca resort’s annual November celebrations.

The event had been reportedly officially cancelled this year due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
But British revellers decided to hold it anyway and the resort’s police could only patrol it on standby.
Spain has so far not seen a huge surge in Covid cases but elsewhere hospitals are filling up with victims of the virus.
The worst-hit is Austria. It will plunge itself into a nationwide lockdown from Monday as Covid cases soar and ward corridors fill with dead bodies.

But with cases relatively low in Spain, tens of thousands of Brits rubbed shoulders with each other in Benidorm with barely a face mask in sight.
