This is London calling.
That was London in the time of Covid-19, during full lockdown, 23rd March to 10th May 2020.
The Prime Minister has partially lifted the lockdown this evening.
It is an appropriate juncture to freeze this page in time. Facebook informs me it has had 90,000 views. Thank you for being one of the viewers.
I shall donate the photos to the national archives.
I leave you with a few of my favourites.
Stay safe and healthy.
