France's Louvre Museum is getting ready to reopen almost four months after COVID-19 forced it to close, but visitors will find one feature missing: The heaving crowd jostling to get a view of the Mona Lisa. With many foreign tourists not expected back for months, and strict social distancing measures in place, the post-outbreak Louvre that opens on Jul 6 is likely to be a more serene experience than usual. Workers this week were putting the final touches on preparations at the former palace on the banks of the Seine that, according to managers, is the world's most visited museum. There will be disinfecting hand gel dispensers, a booking system that allocates time slots to visitors, a one-way system, as well as signs reminding visitors to keep one metre apart and wear masks.

If you cast your mind back to 1998, you may recall the EastEnders debut on Lisa Shaw, brought to life by Lucy Benjamin. Lisa was tipped as a "homewrecking blonde", with show bosses hinting that she'd be diving headfirst into the Walford drama. And soon enough, Lisa caught the eye of Steve McFadden's Phil Mitchell, the pair becoming one of the most famous soap couples of all time. The characters' relationship was a stormy one to say the least, and ended up with Lisa shooting Phil in the famous "who shot Phil?" plot thread that gripped audiences.
