As we know this person as a friend and not because they are our GP, they are ok to be our first referee.
Yes, but not as a professional referee - only the over 25 years old British citizen one.
Another question I had regarding trips outside the UK.
We have a trip planned in the next month, but we plan to submit our application in the next few weeks.
I assume the answer will be no, but I wanted a second opinion.
Should we be listing this planned trip outside the UK on our visa application?
I suspect the trip will fall after our application submission, but prior to any biometrics appointments.
No. Only trips up to the application date. Citizenship is not an immigration application.
Thanks.
When looking on the UKVCAS website to upload our documents, there is section for the referee declarations.Passport photo
On the back of the applicant’s photograph, please write
their full name and date of birth. The photograph should
then be glued into the space aside.

Obviously the scanned copy of the referee declaration you will not see the back of the photo. That requirement goes back to the paper days - Home haven't caught up yet, after 4+ years!
Do we take the referee declarations with us to the biometrics appointment? NO - just upload
