Thank you and goodbyepublished at 20:20 British Summer Time 12 April 2021
Thank you for joining us on what has been a busy and eventful day.
Shoppers have been out in force as High Street stores reopened in England and Wales. Pub gardens and marquees have been filled with friends and family raising a glass to their new-found freedom while snow fell and sun shined across a chilly England.
There have been haircuts, nail extensions, gym sessions, swims and car washes along with rollercoaster rides and trips to the zoo.
These updates were brought to you by Ashitha Nagesh, Ella Wills, Martha Buckley, James Clarke, Jennifer Meierhans and Lauren Turner.
Join us tomorrow for more coronavirus news, have a good evening.
