Sophie Lockner, 30, and her husband, Louis Bellamacina, 32, tied the knot at 10:30 at Burgh House in Camden this morning, making them one of the first couples to get married after the lockdown restrictions were eased in England.

After months of thinking their big day would be cancelled, they’ve had just over a week to pull everything together.

“We had to organise our small wedding with roughly 15 guests - thinking about vows, music, catering, dresses, speeches - all while making sure that social distancing rules are respected,” Sophie told the BBC.

“Being able to celebrate a wedding after such a long time of isolation and uncertainty about the future feels even more symbolic.

"Everything went really well and we're married. We couldn't be happier."

"Very, very excited," Louis added.

"July 4th, independence day, and this is the first wedding in 100 days in Camden."

A pub has managed to open despite a car crashing into its front in the early hours, its landlord said.

The Swan Inn at Little Chart, near Ashford in Kent, will still be able to serve pints to customers outside.

Landlord Ray Perkins said the crash was "absolutely devastating" but hard work from his staff made opening for outdoor service possible.

"We've had everybody rally round and clear up the bar, every single glass has had to be washed again," he said.

Kent Police said three 17-year-old boys inside the car were taken to a local hospital and treated for minor injuries.

One of them has been arrested on suspicion of taking a vehicle without consent and drink driving. He remains in custody.

As some lockdown measures ease today in England, the first thing many people want to do is get a trim.

But would you want your first professional cut for months to be done on national television?

That's exactly what our correspondent Chris Mason did on BBC Breakfast today.

Here's how it turned out.

As the beer taps flow in England, today the barrels remain sealed in Wales…which if you live along Offa’s Dyke on the border may be quite confusing.

Take the village of Llanymynech for example, the border runs directly through the high street – on one side the Bradford Arms can open today (it’s in England), but on the other, less than 400m away, the Dolphin Inn is not opening (as it’s in Wales) and won’t be until at least 13 July.

By then the hospitality industry will partially reopen, but only for outdoor use – a decision that was met with a fair amount of criticism from the industry here with the majority saying that due to a combination of weather and lack of space they won’t be reopening until they can let the public indoors.

Two meters is still the social distancing norm here in Wales – which is another factor that the industry say will affect the sectors prospects of making money.

Until Monday the Welsh Government's five mile rule, meaning people can only travel within five miles of their home and avoid unnecessary journeys, remains in place, but if you live within that distance to the border, say in Chepstow, technically you can cross and then you’d be following UK government rules and could go for a pint.

Film fans have returned to cinemas in England as restrictions on indoor film screenings lifted.

While not all chains have reopened, there were signs of demand on Saturday lunchtime at Showcase Cinema at the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent.

Molly Ladbrook-Hutt, 36, said it "felt great to be somewhere different".

She added: "I'm really impressed so far with the measures, everything has been really clearly explained and it has been a lot easier than expected."

Health workers are appealing for people in England to be sensible and moderate their alcohol intake as pubs reopen.

One paramedic - who is halfway through her 12-hour shift - urged pub-goers in England to not overdo it.

"Be sensible and please don't drink and drive," she says in a tweet.

Meanwhile, an intensive care nurse says that while today is exciting "the coronavirus hasn't just disappeared".

"Stay safe," she adds.

A further five people have died with the coronavirus in Wales, with a further 34 people testing positive for the virus, Public Health Wales said.

In Scotland, there were no recorded Covid-19 related deaths with 11 more confirmed cases, the Scottish government said.

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 in Sri Lanka say they have deployed more than 2,000 officers in the Western Province, which includes the capital Colombo, to enforce the wearing of face masks in public places.

Some of the officers will be in plain clothes. Those disobeying guidelines can be asked to undergo a mandatory self-quarantine for two weeks.

Sri Lanka has managed to control the spread of the virus though a strict lockdown. It has recorded more than 2,000 confirmed cases, with 11 deaths.

Ninety-minute queues are forming for the Vampire ride rollercoaster at Chessington World of Adventures as reduced capacity and a half hourly cleaning regime have been put in place - increasing waiting time.

It’s not deterring the visitors, though, who patiently snake round the barriers.

We’ve all got used to queuing and this is a theme park after all.

Merlin, which owns Chessington, will be watching the numbers coming today closely.

It has been an expensive time for the business with no income and a zoo to pay for.

People here say they’re having a great time despite the restrictions feeling “a bit strange”.

One mum-of-three told us she was just "delighted" to have somewhere else to take the kids. And lots of birthday celebrations are taking place.

Staff wearing face masks, hand sanitising stations and one-way directions may have changed the feel of the theme park, but the delighted screams are as loud as ever. People are relieved to be out.

The Men’s Grooming Company in Coventry has been welcoming customers who have pre-booked haircuts today. Here are four before and after photos from the barbers:

Dom says: "I’m really pleased. He has done a great job and I’m off to a barbecue tonight if the weather holds off. I’ve been desperate for a cut and have been pre-booked since June - they just moved it back to the opening day. I’ve no worries coming along as there is lots of information about keeping safe."

Kian says: "This is my first proper cut since February but my housemates have been cutting it. We’ve all done each other’s now - I’ve cut about four people's hair, but looking forward to a proper cut."

Mike says: “I had my last cut on 10 March and now really need it as I usually have a 0.5 on the sides. I thought about a home cut but didn’t want to let the missus do it. So today I am looking forward to it and have treated myself to a cut with the head barber. Probably most expensive haircut I’ll ever have."

Jack says: "A haircut makes you feel better about yourself. I've no worries about the safety of coming here as I have been working throughout and don’t know anyone who has caught it."

Moored up on his river cruiser boat at the Five Miles From Anywhere pub in Cambridgeshire is Tom Jones, 38, who is enjoying his first pint at the pub since before lockdown.

It’s the first time boat owners have been allowed to stay overnight on their boats, because they are classed as second homes.

Relaxing at the pub in Upware, Mr Jones said: “It’s great to be able to support this fantastic local business, and the beer is definitely a bonus.

"We are taking things slowly and trying to stay outside as much as possible.”

Mr Jones is enjoying the river with his partner, two children and their dog.

India has recorded more than 22,000 new infections - its highest daily number since the outbreak began.

There are concerns that monsoon rains in parts of the country could hamper efforts to contain the pandemic.

With nearly 650,000 infections, India has the fourth-highest number of confirmed cases in the world and is likely to surpass Russia's tally in the coming days.

India has so far had more than 18,600 coronavirus-related deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.

The Moon Under Water pub on London’s Leicester Square - named after George Orwell’s 1946 essay on the perfect pub - opened at 08:00 for breakfast and was already abuzz with drinkers two hours later.

The Wetherspoons staff are happy the punters are back, although there’s an undeniable - and understandable - air of caution here.

Perspex dividers shield clients both from each other from staff taking orders in person, rather than those taken by app.

You’re met with hand sanitiser at the door but no one asked me to leave my contact details.

This morning we've been showing photos of people returning to pubs in England after they reopened following an easing of lockdown restrictions.

But nearly a third of all bars, pubs and restaurants in England will remain closed today, according to the Night-Time Industries Association (NTIA).

Michael Kill, from the trade association, said its members "feel stuck in a bizarre tug of war between government, licensing and planning regulators and the police".

"No-one knows which rope to pull and in which direction, leaving businesses stranded in the middle with no way to move forward and out of this mess."

London-based brewers Fullers plans to open just 27 of its 215 own-managed pubs on Saturday, as the hard-hit hospitality industry continues to call for more support from the government.

The UK's Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has shared a photo of himself having a haircut at the barbers, alongside the word: "Finally!"

He tweeted that his barber said the pandemic had been "the biggest challenge" his business has ever faced.

Sir Keir called for "targeted support" for businesses, and also for the government's furlough scheme - that sees the government pay 80% of millions of workers' salaries - to be extended.

It's been a busy news day this morning, with pubs, hairdressers and other businesses reopening in England in the biggest easing of the lockdown yet in the country.

Here's what has been happening:

• Hairdressers, pubs, restaurants and cinemas are among the businesses able to open with social distancing measures in England today. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has urged people to act "responsibly". Some salons opened for haircuts at midnight, while this morning there have been queues outside barbers
• Weddings are also allowed again, with strict rules including a maximum of 30 people present. One of the first couples to marry after lockdown is believed to be this couple in Cheshire, who were wed at 00:01
• But Leicester has been left out of the changes. The city is still in lockdown because of a spike in virus cases. Police say they are preparing for a busy weekend, with more officers on duty than on New Year's Eve
• The rest of the UK nations are easing lockdown at different rates. In Northern Ireland, pubs and restaurants could reopen on Friday. In Scotland, beer gardens and outdoor restaurants will be allowed to reopen from 6 July, and indoor areas can be used from 15 July. The Welsh government has promised talks with the hospitality sector about a "potential phased" reopening, but no dates have yet been given. Police in Wales have warned people not to cross the border for a beer
• There are calls for an inquiry into the inequalities disabled people face, after new figures suggest almost two-thirds of Covid-19 deaths in the UK have been disabled people
• And later tonight, dozens of landmarks across the country will be lit up in blue to mark the 72nd anniversary of the foundation of the NHS. People will be asked to put a light in their window to remember those who have died in the coronavirus pandemic and on Sunday evening, households across the UK will take to their doorsteps for a nationwide clap for NHS workers.

One of Spain's most famous landmarks, the Sagrada Familia basilica in Barcelona, has opened its doors for the first time since mid-March.

For the first few days, access to the soaring structure will be given only to those who helped fight the pandemic in the Catalan capital - including healthcare workers, police officers and the staff of some civil society organisations.

In the next phase, only residents of Barcelona will be allowed in - for free.

Tourists will be allowed back in to see Antoni Gaudí's still-to-be completed masterwork at a later, unspecified date.

As haircuts take place across England for - in many cases - the first time in months, a museum in the north-east England is urging people not to let their hair clippings just get swept away.

"We wanted to do something a little bit different," said Adam Bell of South Shields Museum.

Donations of hair will form part of the museum's pandemic collection and be used in future displays documenting life amid the outbreak.

The museum already has a collection of hair cuttings, including plaits, that once belonged to author Catherine Cookson.

Two households can now meet, indoors or inside, across England.

But - unless a household is within your support bubble - you must still practice social distancing, meaning hugs remain off limits.
