U.K. Queen Elizabeth II to Address the Nation Tonight

(Bloomberg) -- Queen Elizabeth II will address the nation tonight, at 9pm local time, the Royal Family said in a tweet.

Today is the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe. Celebrations are taking place across the country in a limited form, due to constraints from the lockdown in place to fight the coronavirus.

In her last televised address to the nation, on April 5, the Queen urged Britons to adopt the same discipline and resolve that the U.K. showed during World War II as she sought to comfort the public during the fight against the virus.

The Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to announce a plan for how the restrictions will be eased in a statement to the nation on Sunday.
