British 'towel warriors' sprint for best sunbeds around the pool at a Magaluf hotel - the second it opens.

Aaron Turner, 34, was holidaying with fiancé Shauna Wall, 32, and their daughter Halle, four, when he spotted the bizarre scenes.

In typical British fashion, holidaymakers queued by the pool at Hotel Sol Barbados for up to an HOUR before staff opened it.

The family, from County Meath, Ireland, said each day sunseekers would wait at one of the three pool entrances.

Aaron said they appeared from 9am ready for the pool opening at 10am, despite there being plenty of beds up for grabs.

The dad-of-one, a full-time content creator, said: "The queues would get pretty long."

"Once the barriers opened, all the rules went - people were jumping the queue, and some were properly running."

"There were definitely enough beds but people wanted the best spots."

"I thought it was hilarious, I've seen videos of it online before but it was the first time I experienced it myself."

"We got a good laugh out of it."
