Lockdown in England has been eased as people enjoy their first night out in three months.

Ministers urged everyone to be vigilant. England’s chief medical officer warned that the latest step was not “risk-free.”

Buildings and landmarks were lit up in the UK to celebrate the NHS. Residents were also motivated to place lights on their windows to pay homage to patients who lost their battle against coronavirus.

People were allowed to go out at night for the first time after months of lockdown.

Punters enjoyed their first “proper pint” in more than three months at a pub in New Castle. One customer reported to the international news agency, “The atmosphere is a bit different… that was expected. But everyone’s having a good time,”

Another person said, “The regulations are good and everyone is sticking with them, by the looks of things,”
