Rachel has news of the carol service in Parliament Square. Tim has more. No-one was arrested. For singing carols. No-one was arrested for doing that. It's extraordinary in so many ways.

Hearty rounds of applause, pats on the back, big hugs (well maybe not big hugs, we're not European after all), and other congratulatory gestures are clearly in order. Well done to one and all.
