It will be the first place where the new contact-tracing app will be used before being rolled out more widely this month, said Grant Shapps.

Beginning on 11 May, they will culminate in a huge online concert at the end of the month.

But the lockdown made her wonder whether they could reach an even wider audience on social media platforms.

Although the sessions are free, donations are welcome.

Manchester United will speak to defender Marcos Rojo about his conduct after apparently flouting Argentina's coronavirus lockdown rules.

Images of Rojo, who is on loan at Estudiantes, playing poker and smoking with friends were posted on social media by the 30-year-old's brother Franco. They were subsequently deleted.

Argentina's lockdown rules remain in place until at least 10 May.

Rojo, 30, is the latest Premier League star to ignore lockdown demands.

Aston Villa skipper Jack Grealish, Manchester City defender Kyle Walker and Everton forward Moise Kean have all be criticised for ignoring governmental advice since the Premier League was brought to a halt in March.

Arsenal Stadium was well known for its very small immaculately-kept pitch, which measured only 109×73 yards (100×67 metres). Arsenal's groundsmen, Steve Braddock and his successor Paul Burgess, won the FA Premier League's Groundsman of the Year award several times for their work on the stadium.

The Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman is in hospital in Amsterdam after being admitted with "chest complaints".

The former Southampton and Everton boss, 57, has undergone "successful cardiac catheterisation", said his management company.

Koeman, who made 192 appearances for Barcelona during his playing career, is expected to leave hospital on Monday.

"He will need a few days rest, hopefully it will be respected," said a statement from his management company.

His wife Bartina told De Telegraaf newspaper that he had been taken to hospital by ambulance after feeling unwell at home.

"The speed with which he was taken to the hospital and the quick intervention of the doctors allowed his condition to be stabilised," she said.

John Joseph O'Connor (January 15, 1920 – May 3, 2000) was an American prelate of the Catholic Church.
