Can someone tell me if they think these seedlings are 'leggy' ?

If so when I pot them on can I just sit them deeper in the pot ?

To me they don't look too bad for this time of year; they're much like
my window-sill seedlings. You might chuck the very tallest, e.g. top row
second along, if you have enough to spare, or you could keep it and see
how it goes. The others look fine

You can certainly gradually bury tomatoes deeper. I wouldn't do this
except perhaps very slightly at a very early stage but later on when
you're potting on into bigger pots. Other might have done it earlier and
advise that it is OK early on.

Perhaps. Depends what they are.

Be careful when transplanting. Touch only the leaves and not the stems as this
may damage them

I'd perhaps put the seedlings in a slightly cooler place to slow them down bit.

Mostly OK - a few at top R possibly. Bit worried about the very yellow
cotyledons at bottom R - what are they?

Must say I'm impressed - you clearly have much more patience than I have
when it comes to spacing seeds.

Innit!!!??!? Maybe 'gardening convert' has already thin down the rows?
In any case they're not bad - though there's a few yellow at the
bottom. I'll put them in a colder place now - looks like they need more
root space too.

Can you find a place to keep then that they will recieve 6 hours of sunlight
a day? Getting leggy comes from a shortage of light and they are reaching
to get more.
