“Our decisions will be made on the latest data at every step, and we will be cautious about this approach so that we do not undo the progress we have achieved so far and the sacrifices each and every one of you has made to keep yourself and others safe” - Prime Minister Boris Johnson, speaking ahead of his statement to MPs on plans to ease lockdown in England.

“It’s odd and rather touching to think that people might weep over my passing – strangers I’ve never even met. If I can, I’d like to watch my own funeral from a distance. That would be quite the joke as I looked down and chuckled at everyone making a lot of fuss over me” - Captain Sir Tom Moore, who died on February 2 after testing positive for Covid-19, writing about his funeral in a book he planned to release before his 101st birthday.

“Yes, he’s OK, they’re keeping an eye on him” - The Duke of Cambridge gives an update on the Duke of Edinburgh after his 99-year-old grandfather spent a sixth night in hospital.

“The Commonwealth Service is one of the Abbey’s most important annual services, but as it is not possible to gather here, we have seized the chance to take the celebration well beyond these walls. We are so pleased that this rich and vibrant BBC programme with the royal family and the Abbey at its heart will celebrate our global connections at a time when we are all so physically isolated”

- The Dean of Westminster, the Very Reverend Dr David Hoyle, on a planned TV programme to celebrate the Commonwealth, after the annual Commonwealth Day service was cancelled.
