The image, which has now been shared 27,000 times in just a day, is the latest in a long line of sunburnt images being posted as summer begins to rear its head.
Back in May, when temperatures across the UK soared to around 27 degrees, pasty Brits were caught short without sunscreen – and quickly posted the ensuing red marks to prove it.
Twitter user ?@locsei posted: ‘Today the unthinkable happened. I got a sunburn. In England.’
Joker ?@i_am_nickolai quipped: ‘Today’s National Sunburn Day in the UK. Great to see so many ordinary Brits getting involved… #sunburnt #england #britproblems #aftersun’

After a hit-and-miss early summer, it looks like the hot weather is finally set to arrive tomorrow, with most of the country bathed in sunshine and the good weather is set to last for several days.
It may come too late for those who took a break during the school half term holidays but conditions are set to improve overnight, with much of the UK set to bask in sunshine and warm weather tomorrow as temperatures reach highs of around 26C.
The Met Office’s Greg Dewhurst said that while today’s derby may have been a rather damp affair, the conditions do look set to improve across the UK over the next 24 hours – with temperatures soaring.
Parts of the UK could see highs of around 25C in the sun tomorrow, with clear and sunny spells across much of the country. In London, highs could reach 26C tomorrow.
Today the sun broke through only in eastern England and parts of Scotland but tomorrow most of the country should get sunshine
