I have put a few pictures up on the UK Butterflies site under the gardening section which I took this afternoon. They were amazing to see the pictures just don't do them justice. It is the first time I wished I could swap my macro lense for a wide angle to fit them all in.

They were just about on every conceiveable surface in my garden; nectaring on flowers, sitting on gravel, sitting on the fence, sitting on the shrubs, spiralling up into the sky in dogfights. I've never seen anything like it before. I do flattery myself that the reason they dropped in rather than pass over was because I have butterfly friendly nectar plants for them to feed on.
