In Pictures: A-level students keep their distance to celebrate exam results

Students across England, Wales and Northern Ireland have been receiving their A-level results.

This year’s summer exams were cancelled because of Covid-19, meaning around 300,000 school leavers are receiving calculated grades.

Here are some of the scenes from a very different A-level results day for students.
