Here, the PA news agency looks at some of the best examples from April 16.

Football

Manchester United lit up Old Trafford in dark blue with the words “NHS United” to show support for staff on the front line in the battle with Covid-19.

Premier League rivals Chelsea also showed support for the NHS by providing free meals.

Tottenham have already opened its doors to North Middlesex University Hospital to use as an outpatients facility and became the first Premier League club to operate a COVID-19 testing system at their stadium. Now they are teaming up with students of London Academy of Excellence Tottenham, who are based adjacent to their ground, to make personal protective equipment for frontline NHS staff.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard was showing his son the type of tackles that Liverpool and England fans were used to seeing during his playing days.

Kevin Pietersen, another former batsman who knows a thing or two about questionable haircuts, went for a cycle.

PGA Tour player Collin Morikawa revealed that the highlight of his time away from the course has been fostering dogs.

Boxing

Anthony Joshua followed Rose in sending his congratulations to Moore.

Fellow heavyweight champion Tyson Fury modelled his new merchandise.

British Cycling chief executive Julie Harrington said: “Like the rest of the country, we at British Cycling are incredibly keen to show our gratitude to the NHS workers who are going above and beyond to look after the nation’s health at this time.”
