good afternoon. the duke of edinburgh has been remembered today in a service at canterbury cathedral led by the archbishop of canterbury. at windsor, members of the royal family attended a private service this morning, speaking afterwards about the impact of the death of the duke — who prince andrew described as "the grandfather of the nation". he said the queen had described his passing as leaving a huge void in her life. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports on a day of pause and reflection, prayers for the duke were said in many church services, and after the service at the chapel of all saints in windsor great park, members of his family spoke about him. it's a great loss. i think the way i would put it is that we've lost, almost, the grandfather of the nation,

it's a great loss. i think the way i would put it is that we've lost, almost, the grandfather of the nation, and i feel very sorry and supportive of my mother, who's feeling it, i think, probably more than everybody else. she described it as having left a huge void in her life, but we, the family, the ones that are closer, are rallying round to make sure that we're there to support her. the earl and countess of wessex also spoke about how the queen was dealing with the loss. thinking of others before herself. as always. she's amazing, yeah. so...bearing up, but, again,| it's just that wave of affection for him and just those lovely- stories, theyjust mean so much, and, you know, the tributes have been just fantastic and that's - really, really important, and we really do appreciate it, so... - and i think it's so lovely for so many people to learn about what he did, because i think, actually, quite a lot of the things that have come out will have surprised some people. the countess spoke to members of the congregation about the manner of the duke's death. it was right for him.

it was so gentle. she said his passing had been very, very peaceful, as if someone had taken him by the hand and off he went. at a special service of remembrance for the duke in canterbury cathedral, the archbishop spoke about loss. we may pray and offer love for all who find that a great life leaves a very great gap. britain's former prime minister, sirjohn major, knew the duke. he said his death would leave an enormous gap in the queen's life. i hope she will be given some time and space. i know she is the monarch. i know she has responsibilities, but she has earned the right to have a period of privacy in which to grieve with her family.

and sirjohn said he hoped the duke's funeral would give princes william and harry a chance to mend their differences. the friction that we are told has arisen is a friction better ended as speedily as possible, and a shared emotion, a shared grief, at the present time because of the death of their father, of their grandfather, i think is an ideal opportunity and i hope very much that is possible to mend any rift that may exist. 0utside buckingham palace, barriers have been erected around the pavements, and signs are on display to discourage people from leaving flowers. but, despite the discouragement, bouquets and personal tributes are still being placed. nicholas witchell, bbc news. 0ur royal correspondent daniela relph is at windsor castle.

feeling at the moment. a lot of people have lost parents in the last 12 months, some rather sooner than they might have expected. the? 12 months, some rather sooner than they might have expected. they must be an awareness _ they might have expected. they must be an awareness within _ they might have expected. they must be an awareness within the _ they might have expected. they must be an awareness within the royal - be an awareness within the royal households of the important of getting the tone of this right? it was a long life well lived, terribly painful for those who are close to the prince, but it has been a painful yearfor the prince, but it has been a painful year for many people. yes. painful year for many people. yes, very much — painful year for many people. yes, very much so. _ painful year for many people. yes, very much so, and _ painful year for many people. yes, very much so, and i _ painful year for many people. yes, very much so, and i think- painful year for many people. 1&1: very much so, and i think the palace, buckingham palace are at pains to say they do want this to be a celebration of what they see as a remarkable life. yes, of course, there is personal sadness and personal grief, but the duke was 99 years old. he had led an incredibly full and active life and they will naturally be the focus on people. mines over the coming days and at his funeral service and. on that, as she said over the last year 70 people have sadly lost limbs of the family and the royal family like

them will have to abide by the restrictions of how they all now live in the moment and the restrictions will be just 30 people and we will get a better idea of what that will include an to those people be later on this week. daniela ralph, and windsor. prayers were said for the duke at churches around the country today. a service was held at crathie church on royal deeside, where the royal family worship when they're at balmoral — let's have a listen to some of the thoughts of the people who attended that. a lot of memories of him to my first met him in 1975 in germany. a lot of memories of prince philip. i first met him in 1975 in germany. i was in germany doing the duke of edinburgh award school, i taught there. fond memories of him then, and of course, we met him since we came here. a long lasting memory of him sitting at the end of the royal pew. i think it's just very poignant

to be here when the duke was such a close neighbour. it was a very reflective service, and it was all very thoughtful. i we who live in the area are always glad to see her majesty the queen and the duke of edinburgh here. they love this part of the world, and we love having them as our neighbours. i think they enjoy the opportunity to be away from the hubbub of the city and get away here to enjoy family life, if you like, in their own private peaceful area. some of the voices from the local community and the who of course were shipped with the queen and the prince of —— worshipped. ross wilson is a former trustee of the prince philip trust — which was set up by the duke

in the silverjubilee year. as so many organisations with close connections to the duke she knew this would come one day publishing of other than later but it must be a difficult day fighting for those who knew and worked with him. —— a difficult day on friday. knew and worked with him. -- a difficult day on friday. absolutely. back to 1977, — difficult day on friday. absolutely. back to 1977, as _ difficult day on friday. absolutely. back to 1977, as you _ difficult day on friday. absolutely. back to 1977, as you say, - difficult day on friday. absolutely. back to 1977, as you say, when - difficult day on friday. absolutely. | back to 1977, as you say, when the prince philip trust was about a mac established with around £20,000 with money left over from the celebration of the queen's silverjubilee and that grew to about £2.5 million under management and we have given out over £2.5 million to really needy causes in the life of the tour so far so fantastic achievement, a wonderful chairman, who i will cherish very fondly the memories i have of him over the 40 or so years. he has obviously not the main chairman till the end but you were still singing relatively regularly? yes, i guess that showed the foresight of prince philip. we realised back in 1977 that after 40

years with the trust it was time to hand it on and we were absolutely delighted that prince edward was prepared to take over the role of chairman, which he now holds, and i have no doubt whatsoever that in doing that prince philip insured the legacy of the prince philip trust would continue for many, many, many decades to come.— decades to come. watson as varied as the trust working? _ decades to come. watson as varied as the trust working? the _ decades to come. watson as varied as the trust working? the trust _ decades to come. watson as varied as the trust working? the trust really - the trust working? the trust really looks after the _ the trust working? the trust really looks after the social _ the trust working? the trust really looks after the social needs - the trust working? the trust really looks after the social needs of - the trust working? the trust really looks after the social needs of the | looks after the social needs of the residents of the royal borough of windsor and maidenhead. residents of the royal borough of windsorand maidenhead. == residents of the royal borough of windsor and maidenhead. -- what sort of area does — windsor and maidenhead. -- what sort of area does the _ windsor and maidenhead. -- what sort of area does the trust _ windsor and maidenhead. -- what sort of area does the trust working? - windsor and maidenhead. -- what sort of area does the trust working? it - of area does the trust working? it was set up specifically for the residents of the royal borough by the then mayor of the royal borough so gets involved in all sorts of activities including things like the hospice, air ambulance, autism, dyslexia, i mean, sean, i could go on. dyslexia, i mean, sean, i could go on, , dyslexia, i mean, sean, i could go on. , , on. so, it has served the purpose for which it _ on. so, it has served the purpose for which it set _ on. so, it has served the purpose for which it set up. _ on. so, it has served the purpose for which it set up. what - on. so, it has served the purpose for which it set up. what about i on. so, it has served the purpose i for which it set up. what about your personal memories of it? at the that have particularly come to mind in the last 48 hours? i have particularly come to mind in the last 48 hours?— have particularly come to mind in the last 48 hours? i think the thing

for your time. —— duke of edinburgh. well one particularly happy period in prince philip's life was when he was based in malta. the second world war was over, he was newly married to the queen, and was pursuing his successful career in the royal navy. 0ur europe correspondent nick beake has travelled to the maltese capital of valletta to reflect on the duke's time there. it was more than 70 years ago that newlyweds philip and elizabeth fell in love with this island. and it wasn'tjust the majestic beauty of the maltese coastline, it was the sort of lifestyle it afforded them at this particular moment in their lives. this was the early 1950s, and the prince was able to pursue his naval career. his ship could often be seen docked in the harbour here. for the queen, she was able to go to the shops. it was the closest to normality that they may be able to have ever imagined. and they have spoken over the years with great fondness about this particular place. and that is why the prince will be in many people's thoughts and prayers today. of course, the way that they remember him will be shaped, as it will be in the united kingdom and elsewhere, by the current coronavirus pandemic.

and so for example, the anglican cathedral where, often the couple would worship, today that is closed, there is no service. although, there is a special recording that will be streamed so that people on the island and elsewhere will be able to see that. but really, the duke of edinburgh was at the heart of this island for many years, and in 1964 when it gained independence, he took centre stage. and that is why in the coming days and weeks, they will be remembering him. also the villa where the royal couple lived for two years between 1949 and 1951, that is currently being refurbished, and the hope is that in the years to come, people will arrive on the island and learn more about the links between the duke of edinburgh and malta — a place that was certainly in his heart. nic beake there in malta. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30

and 11:30 this evening in our review of the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are political commentator, faiza shaheen, and lizzy burden who is �*uk economy reporter�* at bloomberg. we will be doubtless looking at some of the biggest of his that the uk economy reopening. more than three months after a third national lockdown was imposed in england, thousands of businesses are preparing to reopen under the next phase of covid restrictions easing. shops are reopening and pubs and restaurants will be able to serve outdoors. hairdressers, salons, gyms and outdoor attractions like zoos and theme parks can also reopen. wales also reopens retail tomorrow — remaining pupils will return to school and restrictions on travelling across the border will ease. in scotland all pupils, except those who are shielding, will return to the classroom. and pupils in northern ireland will also go back to school. here's our business correspondent, katy austin, on the changes in england. staff are back from furlough, preparing this store

in leamington spa for reopening. excited, yeah. it's the third time now that we're reopening again, so we just want to get back into it now. lockdown one pushed this lingerie and swimwear chain to the brink. they've ramped up online and closed some stores for good, but they see monday as hugely important. we've had lots of calls from customers, which tells us that, obviously, lots of customers are wanting to come into shops, but we know that some will want to continue shopping from home for some time, and we're yet to find out exactly how much of that mix is a permanent shift. changing rooms can open, carefully—managed, and bra fittings will be done contact free. 0ur teams are using, actually, the fitting rooms opposite, so rather than actuallyjoining them in the fitting room, they're doing exactly what they would normally do from further apart.

people are being encouraged to shop alone and stay socially distanced. bravissimo is confident of opening safely. profitably? not sure. the british retail consortium said that non—food stores will have lost £30 billion worth of sales over the three lockdowns. it's also clear that the past year has sped up a change that was already under way towards there being fewer shops on our streets and people buying more online. but some things sell much better in person. after a slow winter, this bed retailer hopes to benefit from pent—up demand when it reopens 172 stores in england tomorrow. all of our stores will have very- clearly designated sanitising areas. our products are, for. the majority, requiring an assisted sales process, - where customers and the sales staff can touch and feel| and lie on the products, and so being able to do that is an integral partl of the sales process. pubs, restaurants and cafes can serve outside from tomorrow. gusto will open three restaurants, including this one in liverpool. they're fully booked — but it's not worth opening nine others with small outdoor areas.

by the time we've got in the team of chefs, someone to wash the pots, a front—of—house team to make drinks and serve the food and a manager to run the place, we would actually be worse off than we would be by staying closed. hairdressers can also open tomorrow. some are booked up for months. shops can open late to cope with an expected initial rush. after a painful yearfor retail, they're relying on customers to keep coming back. katy austin, bbc news. we can speak now to amanda fall, salon director at kh hair in leicester, which is reopening tomorrow. amanda, you exciting? yes, i and excited. there _ amanda, you exciting? yes, i and excited. there are _ amanda, you exciting? yes, i and excited. there are also _ amanda, you exciting? yes, i andj excited. there are also butterflies in my stomach for a second time which i imagine my stuff and got as well. i think if they have a sleepless night tonight that is absolutely fine and that is normal. i was just wondering, what has today been right? i was just wondering, what has today been riuht? a ., , i was just wondering, what has today been riuht? �* . ., , ., .,

leicester and... let's take a look now at the latest government figures on coronavirus. there were 1,730 new infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period, which means an average of 2,629 new cases reported per day in the last week. seven deaths were reported — that's people who died within 28 days of a positive test. on average in the past week, there were 36 deaths per day. the total number of uk deaths is now 127,087. on a more positive note, vaccinations — 111,109 people were given their first vaccine dose in the last 24 hours. the overall number of people who've had their first jab is over 32 million. over 7.4 million people have now received their second jab.

david cameron says he should have communicated with government "through only the most formal of channels" amid row over the ex—pm's lobbying work. after several weeks of silence over the issue the former prime minister has issued a statement to the press association. let's get more with our political correspondent chris mason. he is the man who is very helpfully that it first. it is quite a long statement?— that it first. it is quite a long statement? , , ., ~ ., statement? yes, 2.5 pages of a4 at the side i have — statement? yes, 2.5 pages of a4 at the side i have printed _ statement? yes, 2.5 pages of a4 at the side i have printed it _ statement? yes, 2.5 pages of a4 at the side i have printed it out. - the side i have printed it out. quite a lot of things in it. one is that mr cameron's dealings with greensill when he was by minister and the other is their relationship after mr cameron had left office and then went to work for mr green —— missa greensill. in essence, the time that mr apparent dough might was by minister and lex greensill was by minister and lex greensill was brought in as an advisor david cameron says he didn't have much to do with him and he was a civil servant as a political appointees and from his memory he only thinks he met mr greensill on a couple of

occasions. so let's fast forward to the whole question of lobbying. trying to influence governments, entirely normal part of democracy for businesses, individuals, charities, trade unions,... find for businesses, individuals, charities, trade unions, . .. charities, trade unions,... and it was a job — charities, trade unions,... and it was a job he _ charities, trade unions,... and it was a job he did _ charities, trade unions,... and it was a job he did before - charities, trade unions,... and it was a job he did before he - charities, trade unions,... and it l was a job he did before he entered politics because he only came into politics because he only came into politics in 2005 or something, and he was a public affairs manning commercial television?- he was a public affairs manning commercial television? commercialtelevision? yes, which is a euphemism — commercialtelevision? yes, which is a euphemism for— commercialtelevision? yes, which is a euphemism for lobbying. _ commercialtelevision? yes, which is a euphemism for lobbying. he - commercialtelevision? yes, which is a euphemism for lobbying. he stuck| a euphemism for lobbying. he stuck by the rules and they will say is the next minute so you can be for two years and he sought by those rules and also because he was working as an in—house lobbyist he was a paid employee of a particular company as opposed to working on behalf of a range of clients that means he didn't have to register that he was a lobbyist so, in that sense, he didn't break any rules either but, the key thing, we put all the verbiage to one side, is two things. two things which we know have happened. david cameron texted and found rishi sunak the chancellor on behalf a greensill capital. i’m on behalf a greensill capital. i'm uuite a on behalf a greensill capital. i'm quite a number of occasions in this particular period?— particular period? multiple times, as the chancellor _ particular period? multiple times,

as the chancellor put _ particular period? multiple times, as the chancellor put it _ particular period? multiple times, as the chancellor put it just - particular period? multiple times, as the chancellor put it just the i as the chancellor put itjust the other day. we also know courtesy of the sunday times this morning that he went for what was described as a private drink alongside mr greensill with matt hancock the health secretary. mr hancock said he declared everything and has acted entirely appropriately. so, there was not this huge list of questions beginning to mount for david cameron about the nature of their relationship in government, about the nature of his professional relationship since he has been a lobbyist. in this statement, the most striking thing is basically an acknowledgement of good judgment so two sentences, might even be three. the important lessons to be learned, he says, meaning for him to learn. as a former prime minister, except that communications were government need to be done through only the most formal of channel so they can be no room for misinterpretation. in other words, don't text the chancellor ago for a bevy with the health secretary is basically the thrust of that. he says he believes he was acting honourably at all times. he emphasises the context, which was a year ago, huge pressure

on the british economy, the treasury doing what it could to prop up as much as the economy as possible, and he was doing that on behalf that his employer and greensill has important stakes in key parts of the british economy, not least the steel industry, so he says he believes he was acting in good faith throughout. but acknowledges that the sniff test, if you like, my phrase not his around lobbying, it is one thing talking about the other rules, the other thing is what does it smell like? does it feel to the average person hearing about it like the sort of behaviour that is appropriate to invite? and he's pretty much acknowledging here, it doesn't. == pretty much acknowledging here, it doesn't. ., ,, ., pretty much acknowledging here, it doesn't. ., , , ., , ., ., doesn't. -- appropriate and right. when he was _ doesn't. -- appropriate and right. when he was prime _ doesn't. -- appropriate and right. when he was prime minister - doesn't. -- appropriate and right. when he was prime minister he i doesn't. -- appropriate and right. - when he was prime minister he made a very famous speech saying lobbying was going to be the next scandal in british politics, an acknowledgement that there is a real issue in terms of how people perceive the relationships, those who have access,itis relationships, those who have access, it is not what you know, it is who you know, this place to that ongoing and arguably perfectly natural suspicion that people have

of those people who know people who therefore can get to talk to people who matter. therefore can get to talk to people who matter-— who matter. yet, and people will reflect that _ who matter. yet, and people will reflect that judgment _ who matter. yet, and people will reflect that judgment of - who matter. yet, and people will reflect thatjudgment of him - who matter. yet, and people will reflect thatjudgment of him 11 i reflect thatjudgment of him 11 years ago was right and his judgment, as he acknowledges it now was wrong. and there are those who say that the lobbying, he might not have broken the lobbying rules for the lobbying rules are already broken and certainly we speak to commercial lobbyists who were, of behalf of lots of different clients they say, look, we have to register and that is fine and we have willing to do that, we want to be a transference as possible in an industry which often doesn't have the greatest of reputations, transparency, i guess, the greatest of reputations, transparency, iguess, helps, the greatest of reputations, transparency, i guess, helps, they would argue. but, they make the point, loads of lobbying that goes on doesn't fall within the rules about register and so can happen without it being there and transparent so, yes, the former prime minister acknowledging a good judgment and i think it is worth as well emphasising the importance of good journalism here. well emphasising the importance of goodjournalism here. ——

good journalism here. —— acknowledging goodjournalism here. —— acknowledging a dud judgment. sunday times financial times doggedly pursuing this for several weeks and david penman acknowledge this because they shoot than that exposed awkward truths. —— david cameron. while cases continue to fall here, india's second wave of covid has just seen it record more than 150,000 new daily cases — as the disease spreads faster than anywhere else in the world. some hospitals have already been overwhelmed, particularly in the worst affected state of maharashtra. from mumbai, the capital of the state, yogita limaye reports. a hospital in the western town of bhavnagar.
