These look like Pyrochoris apterus or a related bug (there are several similar). Early stages, I should think - the fully developed ones have more black patterning. Common around the Mediterranean but recently spreading to northern Europe.

Fairly sure these are not Pyrrhocoris apterus nymphs (note the strange spelling of Pyrrhocoris  ) as those would have black spots on the back, maybe one of the other Pyrrhocoridae, but I really wouldn't want to hazard a guess.
Sorry, Arp
