Euro 2020 and Wimbledon could be the “catalysts to give people hope” during an “exciting” post-lockdown summer, according to Sadiq Khan.
The mayor of London believes major sporting and cultural events in the capital could be a “springboard to a recovery” but insisted they must be done safely, with UK-based fans rather than those from overseas expected to attend.
His remarks came after he received his first dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine on Friday.
The Labour politician said he was “delighted, relieved and incredibly grateful” after visiting a vaccine centre at Mitcham Lane Baptist Church in south-west London.
Love that as a Mayor of Islamic faith, I received my COVID vaccine at a local church, from Reverend Dr Sue Clarke, who came out of retirement to volunteer as a vaccinator.
