PROFESSIONAL and opportunist skaters took to the ice this weekend to show off their moves. 

Beauty spots like Port Meadow and University Parks have been frozen over so residents decided to make the most of it and grab their skates. 

Others had unsuspecting fun when out for their permitted exercise in the frozen-over floods at Iffley Lock. 

Here are some of the snaps from the weekend:
