A major relaxation of coronavirus measures allows wedding ceremonies, cinema trips and haircuts.

As lockdown restrictions are eased, many couples are taking the opportunity to tie the knot.

Most ceremonies are capped to 30 guests, so for Tracie Kenny, the first time her parents knew she was a newly-wed was when she showed them her wedding ring through the window.

De Koffie Pot in Hereford is back open to customers, serving food and drink.

It is within The Left Bank, which is the biggest venue in Hereford with a capacity of 474 and lots of outdoor space, but to be ultra-safe they are re-opening to up to 170 people and are still planning to keep the 2m distance, as opposed to the government's new 1m-plus guidance.

All customers have to book online before arrival and order all food and drink online.

They will then be allocated tables, where their food will be delivered to them to a nearby table and the customer has to then collect their food and bring it to their table themselves.

Police were called to Sunnyside Court in Nuneaton on Thursday, where a man in his 50s was found dead.

A close eye's being kept on coronavirus test data in the West Midlands in case residents in Leicester visited friends and relatives across the border and spread the virus, the region's mayor has said.

The East Midlands city became subject to the UK's first local lockdown on Monday following a spike in Covid-19 cases.

At a regional briefing this afternoon, mayor Andy Street responded to concerns there might have been visits to the West Midlands by people from Leicester before the lockdown.

"The encouragement to every person in Leicester is not to travel outside the city but we will be able through the data to see how it looks here."

"The Coventry data is particularly good at the moment and I know the team there will be monitoring it like a hawk and, if there are any local incidents, they can be addressed quickly."

Pubs in England will now be allowed to open from 06:00 tomorrow, Downing Street has confirmed.

The prime minister's spokesman described it as a "sensible precaution" to specify pubs opening at 06:00 to avoid midnight parties.

Ounce Bar and Kitchen, which had 35 people booked for its first night, posted on its Facebook page that despite there being "non stop prepping" it would not be opening.

"Cannot believe they have only just announced this," it added.

A bridge in Lichfield has earned the dubious honour of being called "Britain’s most bashed railway bridge" and there are fears it could suffer more next week.

Network Rail has coined the term, external for the St John Street crossing as lorries or other high vehicles have crashed into it 28 times in the last year, on average more than twice a month.

But the organisation is concerned resurfacing works on the A5 near the city for 18 days from Monday could see more collisions.

Drivers are therefore being urged not to take short cuts or follow their sat-nav system but instead stick to the diversion from Highways England.
