If you didn’t have it already, these joyous photos celebrating good times from days gone by should help give you that Friday feeling.
From the 1920s to the 1990s, they show people enjoying that Friday buzz or indulging in traditional Friday treats, like fish and chips.
A miner is pictured unwinding at the funfair after a hard week down the pits, two boys are seen getting a wheelbarrow ride home after a busy day in the fields, and exuberant schoolchildren are shown heading for the gates.
A glamorous grannies competition at Butlins, dominoes at the welfare club, and a triumphant homecoming for an Olympic legend feature too in this euphoric trip down memory lane.
National treasures Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger and brothers David and Richard Attenborough are seen getting in on the act in this retro photo gallery, and there are some celebrity high jinks at the BRIT Awards.
