How sad they must remind this community to behave at such a great time of the year.

Sadly, history suggests there are quite a few out there who will fail to heed the warning and fall foul of the law this long weekend. They will have only themselves to blame.

At the end of the day, anti-social behaviour comes down to one word ... responsibility.

It's up to you as an individual to behave yourself when out and about.

Show respect to yourself and most importantly others you come across while out.

It's up to you as a friend to watch out for others who might go a little too far with the celebrations.

The right thing to do is send them home or get them off the drink as soon as you have noticed they've stepped over the line.

If everyone shows responsibility then people can enjoy the Easter festivities incident free and that's surely what the police and the community in general wants to see.

Be responsible this Easter - it's as simple as that.
