Sports stars across the world continue to provide an insight into their lives on social media.
Here, the PA news agency looks at some of the best examples from June 12.
Goodwill
English Football League clubs will show their continued support for NHS key workers next weekend.
Players from across the three divisions will wear shirts featuring an ‘NHS Rainbow – Thank You’ emblem and a period of applause will take place prior to all matches from June 18-21.
EFL chairman Rick Parry said: “As all eyes turn to the return of football on the pitch, it is important that the League pays fitting tribute to the thousands of NHS key workers that continue to work on the frontline, supporting the country throughout the Covid-19 crisis.
Clubs will come together next weekend to recognise the brave efforts of our NHS key workers who have continued to support our wider communities throughout the Coronavirus pandemic. ⬇️💙#CityAsOne https://t.co/GoMPOfrXoy pic.twitter.com/HR7AfBbD3t — Cardiff City FC (@CardiffCityFC) June 12, 2020
“We know that many fans of EFL clubs are also NHS key workers and we’re proud of the commitment they, and our clubs, have shown to help the service over the past few months.
“By coming together across all remaining fixtures taking place, we hope we are able to show our gratitude and appreciation for their continued work and I’d like to ask all fans to join us in doing so.”
The Football Association is looking for ’23 Lionhearts’ made up of people who have helped the nation during the coronavirus pandemic.
The public will nominate worthy individuals and a panel including Gareth Southgate and Phil Neville will then select the 23 people who will have their stories told across England’s media channels.
Know someone who has helped save lives, inspired communities or undertaken phenomenal fundraising efforts? We want you to help us build our squad of #Lionhearts: — England (@England) June 12, 2020
