How did the English language adopt the Latin alphabet?

I mean Britannia spoke Celtic,Latin was for the educated masses in the middle and dark ages.This question is beyond me.English is supposedly a west Germanic language.I can reason that that the Mediterranean and other parts(Iberia,Germania,Romania) were part of the Roman Empire Proper and from what i gather, Latin wasn't enforced in Britain.So English in Latin alphabet seems puzzling to me.

So Is the Latin alphabet an adopted alphabet for English?(Turkish,Romanian,Azeri are some examples)

Or am I totally incorrect and the truth is something else.

Like, when people wrote to each other or published newspapers, did they use the Latin alphabet or the Cyrillic alphabet? I know that they spoke Serbo-Croat, but I'm not sure which alphabet they preferred to use.

Is the latin alphabet present in a chinese person's surroundings [excluding the internet]? Also, when (if ever) do chinese students learn the latin alphabet. Lastly -- Do native chinese people use pinyin?
