From this week lockdown rules have been changed with people now able to spend time with friends and loved ones outdoors while social distancing.
This came as Boris Johnson announced the UK was ready to move into step two of its plan on easing the strict measures which were first enforced on March 23.
The changes have seen some children return to school, car showrooms reopen and outdoor markets able to trade. And from mid-June, more non-essential shops will reopen such as department stores which have been forced to close during the coronavirus pandemic.
Since March, the lockdown measures have been reviewed on a three-weekly basis but under new government plans, this will be upped to every four weeks.
