Earlier, the Prime Minister set out new restrictions for England, including the closure of hospitality and entertainment venues at 22:00 every night and further rules on face coverings.

Mr Johnson also warned "significantly greater restrictions" could come if necessary.

Responding to the new restrictions, Chris Bulaitis, who owns three pubs in Lincoln, says: "I can't see there's going to be any office parties this year, or good socialising and good celebrations in public houses.

This Christmas is probably not going to happen as far as hospitality, pubs and restaurants are concerned."

It will be a dry end to the day in Lincolnshire.

Here's the latest forecast:

The doors of the building, off City Square, were smashed to gain entry, according to police.

Officers say money and items have been stolen and damage caused inside.

They believe 15 businesses have been affected by the burglary.

No one has been arrested as yet and an appeal is being made by police for witnesses.

I came in to a police cordon around the market. Somebody has broken through the side doors and basically gone into every single stall. My till, for example, was on the floor smashed in pieces and they've taken the money which was only the float. They've done that with all the stalls."

About 200 fishermen in The Wash are currently unable to leave port in their boats due to restrictions put in place by Natural England.

Cockle fishing has been temporarily banned in the area due to the quota being reached early and Natural England says it has to ensure wildlife has sufficient access to food.

Roy Brewster, a veteran fishermen who's worked in The Wash area for over 50 years, and who sits on the committee of the Eastern Association of Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities, says the move has caused some frustration.

Normally, the smaller boats in The Wash would stay cockling and some of the bigger boats move on to shrimps. But this year, with there being a ban on cockling so early, everyone is trying to go into the shrimp fishery this year which is being regulated because of coronavirus."
