A nationwide test of the UK's emergency alert service will take place at 3pm on Sunday 23 April.

Messages will pop up on mobile phones across the country, along with a sound and vibration that will stop automatically after 10 seconds.

People will just need to tap "OK" or swipe away the notification like any other, with no further action required.

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Oliver Dowden MP, assures people that they do not have to do anything, but that the system could be life-saving in the future.
