In unprecedented measures, the Prime Minister announced that the UK was to go into lockdown in a bid to tackle the coronavirus pandemic.
Boris Johnson ordered people to stay home and only leave the house in a few circumstances. This only includes shopping for basic necessities; partaking in one form of exercise a day; for a medical need or travelling to work if it is absolutely necessary.
Mr Johnson announced that, on top of pubs, restaurants and gyms already being close, that all shops - apart from those selling food and pharmacies - were to shut.
Places of worship were also ordered to close with weddings, baptisms and other ceremonies cancelled and only funerals allowed to take place.
