Ben & Jerry's will be giving out free ice cream today for their 38th annual Free Cone Day. 

The global event first started in Burlington, Vermont, in 1979, taking place as a way for the company to thank customers for their support during their first year of business. 

Between 12pm and 8pm today, the scoop shops at the Odeon Cinema Bournemouth in Westover Road and Empire will be handing out free cones to everyone.

You don't need an invite, all you have to do is turn up and claim your free ice cream - and you can have any flavour you like.
