Easter is coming up this month - but what are the dates and what lockdown rules will be in place in England?
Here are the key dates for your diary for 2021 - including why it changes and how the dates are chosen.
We will also reveal the school holiday dates, which have changed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
When is Easter 2021?
In 2021, Easter Sunday falls on on Sunday 4 April, just over a week earlier than last year’s date of 12 April.
For most people in the UK, this should fall towards the beginning of the school holidays, whereas this year’s celebrations should have been in the middle weekend of the break.
The holiday can take place on any date between 22 March and 25 April, with Easter last year falling on 21 April, the latest since 2011.
When will the school holidays take place?
In England, the Easter break starts on Thursday, April 1 and ends on Friday, 16 April 2021.
In Wales, schools will be shut for the Easter holidays from Monday, March 29 until Friday, April 9, 2021.

The two week break in Scotland runs from Friday, April 2 to Monday, April 19 2021.
What lockdown rules will be in place?
Some of the rules around socialising and meeting with others will change on March 8, and more will change on Monday, March 29 in time for school holidays.
From Monday, March 8 the rules will change so that you can have a picnic with your family - or one other person.
The roadmap states: "The Stay at Home requirement will remain, but people can leave home for recreation outdoors such as a coffee or picnic with their household or support bubble, or with one person outside their household."
If you want to meet with someone in a care home, this will also be possible from the same date.
The rules state: "Care home residents will be allowed one regular visitor provided they are tested and wear PPE."
There is then a much bigger shift in the rules from March 29 - in time for the Easter break.
The rules state: "As part of step one, there will be further limited changes from March 29, the week in which most schools will break up for Easter.
"Outdoor gatherings of either 6 people or 2 households will be allowed, providing greater flexibility for families to see each other. This includes in private gardens.
"Outdoor sports facilities, such as tennis and basketball courts, will be allowed to reopen, and people can take part in formally organised outdoor sports.
"At this point, the Stay at Home order will end, although many lockdown restrictions will remain.
"For example, you should continue to work from home where possible, and overseas travel remains banned, aside for a small number of reasons."
While the stay at home rule ends, people will be urged to stay local.
So you will be able to visit a local beauty spot, park or beach with your family - and meet up with other friends and family.
Up to six people can meet - the number includes children - or as many people as you like if they are from just two households.
But there is still plenty you won't be able to do. Non-essential retail and tourist attractions will not open until after the Easter Break, on April 12 at the earliest.
Indoor leisure will be the same - including gyms and pools.
Pubs won't be able to start serving people until April 12 - and then only outdoors.
Some holiday accommodation will also reopen from April 12.
That does mean you will be able to travel somewhere, stay in a holiday let and visit tourist attractions by the first Bank Holiday in May on May 3.
The next shift in rules will come no sooner than May 17 - when pubs and restaurants can start serving indoors, the Rule of Six is scrapped outdoors, all holiday accommodation should be allowed, converts and sports matches will be reopened and so will cinemas and soft-play areas.
All rules are to be lifted by June 21 if everything goes to plan.
How do we work out when Easter will be?
The date of Easter is calculated from the first Sunday after the first full moon following the Spring equinox in March.
Next year the equinox will take place on its usual date of 20 March, with the next full moon on 28 March – the Sunday exactly a week before Easter.
The decision on how and when Easter should fall each year was made by the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, the first major church council.
Why is Easter on a different date each year?
The predominant reason why Easter falls on a different date each year is because we now use the solar, Gregorian calendar rather than a lunar one.
This means the full moon occurs on different dates each year, and therefore so does Easter.
