Prominent figures in the UK Jewish community have wished the Queen a speedy recovery after she revealed she'd tested positive for Covid.

The Queen, who said she would be taking meetings from home, tested positive over the weekend. In response, the 95 year old received an outpouring of support on social media as well-wishers gave their messages to the monarch.

Chief Rabbi Mirvis was among those who send good wishes to the queen, saying on Twitter: "I extend my heartfelt best wishes to Her Majesty The Queen and others in the Royal Household for a Refuah Shelema - a complete and speedy recovery."
