Police were forced to break up a gathering of “at least 50 people” drinking at Salford Quays this afternoon. The group, which residents said numbered up to as many as 100, were spotted near The Alchemist at around 1.30pm playing loud music and spraying champagne bottles.

Witnesses said they were dressed formally and seemed to be celebrating a special occasion. Nearby residents claimed most of the group left after around 40 minutes but a couple remained and continued to drink and play music.
