The UK's official death toll has risen to 126,172. One year on from Boris Johnson ordering the nation into lockdown, he's offering his condolences to the bereaved and praising the "great spirit" shown during a year that has been "one of the most difficult in our country's history".

A minute's silence will be held at midday as part of a day of reflection. Landmarks including the London Eye, Trafalgar Square and Wembley Stadium will be lit yellow at nightfall. Cardiff Castle and Belfast City Hall will also be illuminated, while churches and cathedrals will toll bells. More than 250 organisations such as religious groups, charities and care organisations are supporting the day of reflection. The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby says it's "an opportunity to pause and remember all that's happened over the past year, to mourn those who have died but also to give thanks for those who have looked after us".

The retailer says it will remove them from shelves within eight weeks, having been inspired by a petition started by a 10-year-old from Gwynedd, called Skye. "I'm really pleased so many people have agreed with me," the youngster told BBC News. Waitrose is urging publishers to replace "pointless plastic" with sustainable alternatives.

Britons will face fines of £5,000 for going abroad on holiday from Monday, claims the Daily Mail. It says penalties for leaving the UK without a "reasonable excuse" - such as work or family matters - will remain until the end of June. People may have to wait until August or September for quarantine-free holidays, the Times says, with France likely to go on the "red list" - requiring quarantine in a government-approved hotel - this week. The Daily Express echoes Boris Johnson's suggestion the third wave of coronavirus in Europe will "wash up on our shores", although the Daily Mirror says the PM is "reassured" EU leaders do not want a vaccines blockade.
