British cruise ship passengers land back in UK

Dozens of people who spent two weeks isolated on a coronavirus-stricken cruise ship in Japan have returned to the UK.

Thirty-two British and European nationals took off from Haneda airport in Tokyo late on Friday and landed in Boscombe Down Ministry of Defence base near Salisbury, Wiltshire, on Saturday morning.

The flight also has British government and medical staff on board, the Foreign Office said.
