Can someone please advise if we will need to quarantine on arrival in UK.

Yes.

Before travel to England

Before you travel to England you must:

take a COVID-19 test
book and pay for day 2 and day 8 COVID-19 travel tests – to be taken after arrival in England
complete a passenger locator form

On arrival in England

On arrival in England you must:

quarantine at home or in the place you are staying for 10 days
take a COVID-19 test on or before day 2 and on or after day 8

Read about quarantine and taking COVID-19 tests.

Children aged 4 and under do not need to take the day 2 or day 8 test.

You may be able to end quarantine early if you pay for a private COVID-19 test through the Test to Release scheme.

Many thanks for the information, very much appreciated. I had checked with the airline here and got the requirements for departure but your information regarding the UK arrival is most helpful.

Can I find the Test to Release Scheme online ?

If international flight arrival in UK is London Heathrow. Is it necessary to clear Covid regulations at Heathrow before transferring to onward flight by BA to Manchester ?

Coronavirus (COVID-19): Test to Release for international travel

If international flight arrival in UK is London Heathrow. Is it necessary to clear Covid regulations at Heathrow before transferring to onward flight by BA to Manchester ?

I am not sure of this. It may depend on whether it is an airside or landside transfer (i.e. whether you go through customs and immigration at London Heathrow or at Manchester). I will leave that for others to answer.
