Prince Harry is expected to attend his grandad Prince Philip's funeral - and government guidance suggests it is within lockdown rules for him to fly in from the US. The monarch is close to the children of her late sister Princess Margaret - her nephew the Earl of Snowdon and niece Lady Sarah Chatto - so they may also be on the list.

The crazy decision not to run Tiger Roll in today’s Randox Grand National (5:15pm, ITV) robs the biggest race in the world of some of its attraction, but it makes it easier for the 40 runners that will line up and Any Second Now is taken to give Ted Walsh a second winner in the £750,000 feature. Two-time winner Tiger Roll was controversially taken out of the Aintree showpiece last month and he predictably tailed off in yesterday’s Betway Bowl. Bristol De Mai tops the weights, while it seems pretty certain Trevor Hemmings’s Cloth Cap will go off favourite, as the veteran owner of Preston football club attempts a remarkable fourth win in the National.
Queen must take into account strict limit on numbers due to Covid crisis
Over half of people in England now live in an area in which new cases of Covid have all but vanished, with some places not reporting a case in public data for more than a month. Infections have been so low in areas with a total population of 34.5 million that Public Health England has redacted their latest weekly case tallies in order to protect the privacy of those – if any – who test positive. These 4,307 areas could have had at most two new cases but potentially zero in the seven days to April 4 – and 1,091, home to 8.2 million people, have had their data suppressed every week since the end of February. News that Covid infections are fading in parts of England comes in the week that Boris Johnson confirmed that the lifting of lockdown would continue as planned with the outdoor reopening of pubs and restaurants, as well as non-essential shops, on Monday. Underpinning the Government's green light are four tests which, apart from the continued success of the UK's vaccine drive, include infections remaining low enough to avoid a surge in hospitalisations that could overwhelm the NHS after unlocking.
