The Catholic tradition of Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve is under threat in Britain due to interruptions from drunken intruders.

According to a survey for Catholic magazine The Tablet, 50 deaneries – local groups of parishes – have had to scale back, move or cancel the Christmas Eve celebrations altogether due to disruptions. Some have even had to employ bouncers to guard the Church entrance to keep out drunken revellers.

Monsignor David Hogan of St Bernadette’s parish in Nunthorpe, northern England, said that less than a quarter of parishes in the area now hold the service. “Last time we had it, we ended up with a drunk trying to get the doors off the church,” he said.

Britain’s bars and clubs were heaving on Friday night as hundreds of thousands of revellers ventured into towns and cities ahead of Christmas.

Police forces drafted in extra officers on so-called “Mad Friday”, which has become one of the busiest nights of the year, to deal with the effects of excessive drinking.

The London Ambulance service received almost 6,000 calls during the evening, many of which, it said, were for "patients who had too much to drink."

I’ll never forget the picture of the beautiful young lady in a micro-miniskirt, drunk off her azz, passed out in the snow on a street in Birmingham.

Shoppers have packed out high streets across Britain this afternoon in a billion pound dash for last minute Christmas deals on 'Panic Saturday '.

Some of the country's biggest retailers have slashed prices sparking a £1.2billion shopping bonanza on what is turning out to be one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

High street outlets are enjoying a huge surge of business from customers spending more than £2.1million a minute.

It comes after the busiest night of the Christmas party season and the year's booziest evening, dubbed 'Mad Friday'.
