Delay to full lifting of lockdown
Some changes to England's Covid-19 restrictions took effect earlier today - but it's not the so-called 'freedom day' the country had been hoping for.
The full lifting of the English lockdown was delayed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson last week, due to concerns over the Delta variant.
Government made the decision to facilitate the vaccination of as much of the public, as possible.
As we open up vaccinations to everyone 18+, I want to take a moment to thank our young people.

You’ve acted selflessly and sacrificed so much to save others in this pandemic.
Now the end is in sight. Please get your jabs as soon as you can. pic.twitter.com/uSsjw4dxeP
From today, there is no longer a 30-person limit at weddings, with changes also being been made to care home visits.
