A cardiac nurse has told how she was moved to tears by a video of her young children performing a song they had written for her and her hospital colleagues.

Laura Aitken works at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and tweeted the video to colleagues to lift their spirits.

Alice, seven, and five-year-old Jack wrote new lyrics to A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman film, with their dad Chris, who accompanies them on guitar.

Signing off with the lyrics "All we want is to grow up and be like you", Mrs Aitken said her children "see me going to work and they see that it's difficult at the moment".

A police chief has appealed for people to stay in over the Easter bank holiday to "save lives" after his force received 300 calls last weekend.

Norfolk Chief Constable Simon Bailey said: "I really hope that those people who chose to flout the guidelines and ignore the advice last weekend will reflect on the number of [Covid-19] cases we have in the county."
