He added: “We will now allow people to meet in gardens and other private spaces. These changes mean friends and family can start to meet their loved ones, perhaps, seeing both parents or grandparents at once.”
Mr Johnson said that for many people, this will be a “long awaited, and joyful moment”.

The prime minister has outlined measures to start a gradual easing of the lockdown in England, while warning of the danger of a second surge of the pandemic. In a television address Boris Johnson said it was the right time to “update” the government’s message in England, from “stay at home” to “stay alert”.
But Labour warned that the new message lacked clarity. And the “stay at home” message is not being changed in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
The Prime Minister’s plan urges anyone who can’t work from home to return to work, but to avoid using public transport if possible.
Boris Johnson has said the government will release a plan for gradually easing the lockdown. However the Prime Minister made clear that lifting restrictions will depend on keeping transmission rates of coronavirus infection low.
The scientific term for the transmission rate is known as the R-number. Boris Johnson said that keeping the R-number down was going to be “absolutely vital to our recovery”.
