“At its heart it is still a family event. We are following the Covid guidelines. There was a limit on who could be invited and Her Majesty wanted to ensure that all branches of the duke’s family were there, and had to make some very difficult decisions. For those that unfortunat­ely can’t be there, I’m sure they will be making their own arrangemen­ts about how they commemorat­e, and indeed celebrate, the duke” - Buckingham Palace spokesman on the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral.

“We see what Russia is doing to undermine our democracie­s. The UK and US are calling out Russia’s malicious behaviour, to enable our internatio­nal partners and businesses at home to better defend and prepare themselves against this kind of action. The UK will continue to work with allies to call out Russia’s malign behaviour where we see it” - Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab.

“It was totally pain free. The lovely woman who vaccinated me made it all really easy. I guess like many people I felt quite emotional because it’s so important this vaccinatio­n programme in helping us all get back to normal” - First Minister Nicola Sturgeon after receiving her first Covid-19 vaccinatio­n.

“It helps people’s self-belief, it gives people life skills, it helps them to deal with things that might be thrown at them in later life” - Actor Ross Kemp on the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

“I think they might do one more special. Because they left it hanging, didn’t they, with the proposal? So it would seem strange if they didn’t” - Gavin & Stacey star Rob Brydon on whether there may be another special episode of the sitcom.
