The lifting of the national lockdown has seen a return to the tier system with spectators allowed back for both indoor and outdoor events.

London is in tier 2, meaning up to 1,000 people can attend the famous event at the Ally Pally - but there will be restrictions.

Only fans who live in tier 1 and 2 areas across the UK will be able to book a table of up to four people, who must also be in the same household or support bubble.

The venue will also adhere to social distancing measures with food and drink served directly to table.

Anyone who turns up in fancy dress will not be allowed entry - but Christmas jumpers have been given thumbs up.

Football-style chanting will also not be permitted, although encouragement of the players will be allowed.
