Darts fans meet up in London’s Ally Pally

Singer Lewis Capaldi was among the fans at the darts at Ally Pally this evening 

Darts fans dressed up early in fancy dress to watch the PDC World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace in north London, including these three tins of beans

Here, more than a dozen revellers were kitted out in elf outfits, ahead of a group of friends dressed as traffic cones – a firm Ally Pally favourite

These fans standing outside the bar were dressed as traffic cones – a firm favourite of darts fans

This fan dressed up with a festive santa hat and a purple and yellow outfit

While there is a crisis in the NHS, this man dressed up as a nurse to watch the darts

Attending Ally Pally and seeking inspiration for an outfit can be difficult, so these three fans decided upon turning up as a dart board

When asked, Where’s Wally? This darts fan provided a more than satisfactory answer 

While some of the action is expected to be ‘out of this world’, these aliens have come to see for themselves

Hopefully for children around the world, Santa has given these elves the day off and they haven’t decided to wreck Christmas by going on strike

Several people arrived wearing sombreros and false Zapata moustaches 

These are some of the most shellfish fans at Alexandria Palace today, dressed as prawns 

Two men were seen wearing hunting pinks while their friend, dressed as a fox, made his way through a four-pint pitcher of beer

Another fan was dressed as some form of dinosaur, again outside the main arena near the bar
