The Who frontman Roger Daltrey has said he is proud of the British public for their resilience in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.

He told the PA news agency: "I'm very proud of us on that, and again our frontline clinicians and clinical care workers, I'll clap all day long for.''

He added: "I do feel sorry for young musicians and, you know, also orchestral musicians, these people that have studied for years and years and years to play in orchestras.

"They're all out of work - the road crews, the truck drivers, the lighting people, the whole industry is sitting on its fingers, it's horrendous."
