THE coronavirus lockdown in England has eased today, with family and friends able to meet again.

New rules mean groups of up to six people, from any number of households, or a group of any size from up to two households, are allowed to gather in parks and gardens in England, according to Government guidelines.

There are also other changes happening today, including outdoor sports facilities reopening.
