Coronavirus in England: Latest updates - BBC News
Bringing you the latest news from across England about the coronavirus pandemic.
During a memorial service to victims of Covid-19, Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham said each person who had fallen victim to the virus should be remembered as "a person and not just a statistic".

He paid particular tribute to healthcare staff and other key workers "still serving people at the height of the pandemic".

"We have all seen the world through new eyes during this time, and we can all pray together today and use the insights we've gained from this time to make the world a better place," he said.

"Where we value each other more, and think more about what we can give, rather than what we can take."

He added: "This is of course all for tomorrow. For today, Greater Manchester remembers, gives thanks for the lives we have lost, and pledges to build on the foundations they have left."
