Just reading an article on places of worship. Here is a snippet:
Unlike in November's lockdown, the government has allowed acts of communal worship to continue in churches, synagogues, mosques, gurdwaras, temples and meeting rooms.
The number allowed at any service is determined by a risk assessment on the building where it is held.
No more than 30 people are allowed to attend funerals. Weddings and civil partnership ceremonies can only take place in exceptional circumstances (for example, where one of those getting married is seriously ill and not expected to recover) and only six people can attend.
So what I gather from this is, people can legally congregate to talk to the ceiling, and the numbers are just pulled from the arse of whoever is doing the risk assessment... However if a loved one has died there is no such consideration. Likewise they are putting a hard and fast number of six on attendance to a terminally ill persons wedding.
Charming!
