Coronavirus latest: Thursday's goodwill stories from the world of sport

Andy Murray won a quiz while Cameron Norrie and Tyson Fury went to the beach.

Sports stars and clubs across the world continue to help their local communities – and find new ways to amuse themselves – during the coronavirus pandemic.

Here, the PA news agency looks at some of the best examples from May 14.

Table Tennis

Paralympic champion and Strictly star Will Bayley designed a rainbow face mask to raise funds to help Great Ormond Street Hospital cope with the financial implications of the virus.

Bayley spent much of his childhood at the hospital for treatment for arthrogryposis, and also successfully battled cancer when he was seven years old.

Bayley told the PA news agency: "I owe everything to Great Ormond Street. They helped me to dance, let alone walk, and they also saved my life with my Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma."

Football

Marcus Rashford took a trip down memory lane, before losing a quiz to Andy Murray.

England international Lucy Bronze took part in the #7MillionKeepieUppieChallenge.

Former Blackburn striker Alan Shearer was remembering Rovers' Premier League title win in 1995.
