Dorset appears to have had a relatively trouble-free 'Super Saturday' after pubs were allowed to open for the first time in more than three months.

Pubs were said to be busy at times but huge crowds seemed to have stayed away.

Overcast skies and the occasional bouts of drizzle kept drinkers out of the beer gardens.

Weymouth & Portland Police said there had been "no major issues to report" following their daytime patrols.

Working with council teams, officers visited a number of licensed premises.

Two men were arrested in the town during the afternoon in separate incidents – one for a public order offence and the other for being drunk and disorderly.

Dorset Police said on Saturday night its control room had recorded 525 incidents over a 24-hour period – although without any data to compare it with, it is not known if this was particularly busy for the force.

Chief Constable James Vaughan tweeted that it was a 'busy 24 hours overall but all very manageable'.

A bus shelter was damaged in Weymouth on Saturday night, however it is not clear if it was a criminal act.

Glass was strewn over a bench and the pavement after a panel was smashed at the shelter at the top of St Thomas Street near the Town Bridge.

Photographer Si Jubb Carruthers was near the scene on Saturday night when he heard the sound of smashing glass at 11.30pm.

He said a number of people were standing around but it wasn't clear what had happened.

He understood police had been called to the scene and presumed the damage must have been intentional.

Si said apart from a few drunken people around the streets he thought Weymouth was generally very quiet for a Saturday night.

Dorset Police said there was nothing on their logs about criminal damage to a bus stop at the location.
