Waxwork stars of Madame Tussauds queue outside the attraction ahead of its reopening

Bumping into just one of them on the street would be a surprise, so you can understand this dog walker’s shock when she found Donald Trump, the Duchess of Sussex and Taylor Swift standing side by side in central London.

Also hanging around were Prince Harry, Victoria Beckham and Beyoncé… or rather their waxwork images. 

They were all in a socially-distanced queue – a promotional stunt for the reopening of Madame Tussauds this weekend.

Waxworks of the Queen – who was having her make-up reapplied – and Boris Johnson were also stood outside the museum in Marylebone.

Mr Johnson and, surprisingly, Mr Trump’s faces were even covered with PPE masks, a reminder of these post-lockdown times.

Madame Tussauds closed on March 20 but will reopen tomorrow with social distancing measures in place.

Strict social distancing measures will be in place to ensure the safety of guests and staff, said the general manager of Madame Tussauds London, Tim Waters.

He said: ‘We’re encouraging guests to wear their facemasks when they come into the building.

‘There’ll be temperature checks as they enter as well. 

‘And they’ll be able to see our staff who are wearing facemasks as well.

‘We’ve also limited capacity to ensure that we can make sure that there’s social distancing as we go through the attraction.’

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat.

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs NewsColony Perhaps it’s appropriate that public notices of the COVID-19 crisis began as an ableist cruelty. Health officials assured the nation that only the elderly and those with chronic health conditions would be seriously affected; most Americans (i.e., the normal people) would have only mild symptoms and be fine. x A friendly reminder: people who will be high-risk patients if we get coronavirus can hear you when you reassure everyone we’re the only ones who might die. — Alexandra Brodsky (@azbrodsky) February 29, 2020 Soon after the announcement of those assurances, the likelihood of high-risk people surviving was further limited by the people more likely to be fine.
