Glastonbury Festival fans have been taking part in Glasthomebury by recreating the site in their homes after it was cancelled for a second year.

The festival usually takes place on the last full weekend of June but was cancelled in 2021 and 2020 due to Covid-19.

Felicity Cooney and Freddy Bevan, from south Somerset, built their own replica of the Pyramid Stage in their garden.

The couple met each other at the festival and got engaged under the site's Pyramid Stage after it was called off last year.

The Facebook festival event Glasthomebury, external, was organised by Glastonbury Festival fans.

They invited people to get together and recreate the festival experience with family or housemates by camping at home, while watching the event celebrate its 50th birthday on TV from 25 to 27 June.

Followers were able to download free posters, bunting, wristbands and a build-your-own pyramid stage instruction manual.

Ms Cooney said: "I've been going since I was a baby so when Covid cancelled Glastonbury we couldn't bear the thought of not celebrating the weekend. Especially without watching some music on the Pyramid Stage."

People on the Isle of Man have been warned to be vigilant for Covid-19 symptoms after a person who initially tested negative later tested positive after leaving isolation.

Several people were now isolating as a "precaution", the government said.

Even fully vaccinated people should take action "immediately" if they develop symptoms, external, a spokesman said.

It is not clear how long the person, who had travel history, had been out of isolation before becoming ill.

Northen Ireland has passed the milestone of giving more than two million doses of coronavirus vaccinations.

It is the total figure for first and second doses, with about 80% of the adult population having received a first jab, and 60% fully vaccinated.

It comes on the day walk-in vaccinations opened for over-18s in Northern Ireland.

Health Minister Robin Swann says it's down to the "immense work" across the health and social care system.

He says: "I also pay tribute to the good sense of the people of Northern Ireland - coming forward in very large numbers to get protected from the virus."

He added it was "vital" people received a second dose of the vaccine, to ensure protection against the spread of the Delta variant.

Officials in South Africa say the Delta coronavirus variant now appears to be dominating new infections in the country, which is the worst-hit on the continent.

On Friday, several thousand opposition supporters demonstrated outside the offices of the health regulator to demand the speeding up of vaccine distribution.

The march by the leftist Economic Freedom Fighters defied rules meant to curb infections.

The party is demanding that Russian and Chinese vaccines be authorised. The government criticised the move, saying South Africa's regulatory system should not be forced to bow to political pressure.

We've been hearing about how much Sajid Javid says he'll have to do in his capacity as new health secretary.

One will be dealing with the backlog of patients who have been waiting for operations.

More than 14,000 patients in the North East of England and Cumbria have been waiting longer than a year for non-emergency operations as a result of the pandemic.

In February 2020, that figure was just 66, according to official NHS figures.

And 64,727 people in the area have waited longer than the official target of 18 weeks, more than double the pre-pandemic figure of 31,478.

The government said it was spending an extra £1bn nationally tackling delays.

Among those to have been waiting more than one year for treatment is retired consultant anaesthetist Shoba Srivastava MBE, aged 87, of South Shields.

Dr Srivastava, who has severe arthritis, is now due to have an operation on 1 July after previously having her treatment cancelled.

"It is so painful," she said. "Finally now I have a date. We need more doctors, more nurses, more healthcare workers."

New Health Secretary Sajid Javid says he's honoured to be appointed, after the resignation of Matt Hancock.

Mr Hancock stood down on Saturday for breaching Covid rules by kissing a colleague.

Mr Javid, who has had several key government roles, said his predecessor had worked "incredibly hard" and he was sure Mr Hancock would "have more to offer in public life."

Radio 4's Broadcasting House

Sir Gary Streeter, South West Devon MP, has told BBC Radio 4’s Broadcasting House he was one of the Conservative MPs to tell the party whips that Matt Hancock should resign.

“It became obvious very early on, Friday and Saturday when the story broke that, because of the very point that has already been made, that so many of our constituents including ourselves have made sacrifices - I didn’t hug my grandchildren for months and months and months - and then to see people who are rule-makers break their own rules, it is untenable, we knew that," he said.

Asked about Prime Minister Boris Johnson refusing to sack Mr Hancock, he said: “I admire the strength that the PM has shown over the last two years or so in backing his ministers. I’ve been at Westminster 29 years and normally whenever the media decide that a cabinet minister or a senior politician has to resign, then that’s it...

“Boris has taken a stand against that and I think quite rightly so and showing tremendous strength and leadership, but on this particular matter it was not a matter for the prime minister to sack the health secretary, it was something that Matt had to do himself.

"And he did the right thing, he is an honourable man and he took the right step and he will be back; he’s very talented and we need his skills in the future. He has done the right thing now, we can expect him to return to the front benches in a few years’ time.”

People aged over 18 in Scotland who have not received their first coronavirus vaccination, or have missed their first dose, have been asked to register for an appointment themselves.

The Scottish government said an online booking system will open at 0800 tomorrow morning.

Those who sign up will receive a text or email about their appointment which they can change if it does not suit.

ChaIr of the British Medical Assocation, Dr Chaand Nagpaul, tells BBC Breakfast what he thinks Mr Javid's priorities should be as health secreatry.

Seeing through the vaccination programme, dealing with the huge waiting list backlog and the crisis of an exhausted workforce are all at the top of the list, he says.

To calmer shores now, on the north Norfolk coast, where organisers of some conservation attractions say they are concerned about the environmental impact as the coronavirus pandemic boosts UK toursim.

About 140 million day-trippers visit the East of England each year already.

Tourism in this region is worth more than £10bn a year and is one of the East's biggest employers.

The Holkham Estate on the Norfolk coast manages 25,000 acres of land with a stately home, a nature reserve, a beach and other leisure facilities.

It is a huge draw for tourists, but also has a major conservation role.

Peter Mitchell, Holkham Estate manager, says he is a "little bit nervous" about the potential number of UK tourists coming to the estate as lockdown eases and ends.

"Last summer, we just about managed to cope. So there's going to be some big numbers," he says

"This year we've introduced zoning for dog walkers, and keep asking people to keep dogs on their leads in April to September - part of trying to stop the damage that free-running dogs can do to nesting birds."

Here's how other attractions are coping with extra tourism while conserving wildlife.

The department of health is to look into how footage from Matt Hancock's office was leaked, Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis says.

The video, which shows Mr Hancock breaching Covid rules by kissing a colleague, was passed to the Sun, and ultimately led to his resignation.

Speaking to the BBC's Andrew Marr, Mr Lewis says: "We have to understand how that happened and how we deal with that."

The Sun says the images had come from "a concerned Whitehall whistleblower".

The paper's political editor Harry Cole told Radio 4's PM programme the alleged whistleblower thought they "deserved a wider audience".

The BBC's Andrew Marr revealed on his show earlier that he got Covid recently, despite being double-jabbed.

He asked Prof Peter Horby - a government adviser on Covid-19 and chair of NERVTAG, which deals with emerging virus threats - if he "was just unlucky".

The Australian state of New South Wales has reported 30 new Covid cases on the second day of Greater Sydney's two-week lockdown.

An expanded lockdown now covers 5m people in Greater Sydney, as well as the Blue Mountains, Central Coast and Wollongong.

Cases of the highly infectious Delta variant now stand at 110.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says she expects that figure to rise as people who are self-isolating pass it on to members of their households.

Stay-at-home orders will stay in place until 9 July for all of Greater Sydney and the other specified areas.

Police say they will use number plate recognition technology to monitor vehicles and ensure people have not strayed out of their lockdown zone.
