Sep 23, 2020
For people across the UK, March 23, 2020 will always be a ‘where were you’ moment.
The Prime Minister Boris Johnson appeared on TV screens to give the nation a ‘simple instruction’. People were told to stay at home except in exceptional circumstances and an unprecedented lockdown began across the country.
Since then the coronavirus pandemic has dominated the headlines as people watched case numbers rising, falling and then rising again.
The lockdown was gradually eased and the economy reopened but now the country faces new restrictions of every day life.
In among it all were the stories of human endeavour and celebrations of the small moments that brought the country together as it faced its most difficult crisis in decades.
