An NHS nurse, who saw the picture being shared, contacted the Doncaster Free Press to express her disgust.
Declining to be named, she said: “As a nurse we are seeing the impact of this virus already and I am sick of seeing idiots like this endangering all of us.”
Another angry Facebook user said: “These are the idiots of Rossington clearly disregarding the advice and putting others in danger having a get together and thinking it hilarious.”
