FREEDOM DAY POSTPONED FOR FOUR WEEKS

The final stage of easing lockdown restrictions in England is to be delayed until 19 July, the PM has said. It means most remaining curbs on social contact will continue beyond 21 June, when they had been due to be lifted. The limit on wedding guest numbers will be removed but venues will still have to adhere to other rules. Boris Johnson said there would be a review after two weeks and he was "confident" the delay would not need to be longer than four weeks.
