STAFF at Whiston Hospital came together to mark the National Day of Reflection signifying a full year since the UK's first national lockdown.
Speeches were made after an emotional minute's silence at noon, with pictures captured by Bernard Platt, to remember those who have died during the Covid-19 pandemic.
St Helens also joined the nation by doing a minute’s silence at noon and plan to do a doorstep vigil at 8pm today, Tuesday, March 23, with residents encouraged to stand at their doors with a light – a candle, a torch, even your phone – to remember someone who has died and show your support to people going through a bereavement.
Supporting the vigil, prominent buildings and landmarks will also be illuminated yellow across the UK, including the Steve Prescott Bridge and St Helens Town Hall.
Book of condolence to pay tribute to those who lost their lives to Covid-19
Please send whatever messages, tributes, pictures and posts you feel appropriate to those you have lost to Covid-19
