Updated set of my version of the excess death charts using today's latest ONS data. Now including some basic population adjustments for the data prior to 2019 for better comparison. England full year first. 1/

Plus London. 6/
Same again, but zoomed versions. North West, North East, Yorkshire + Humber and West Midlands. 7/
