In memory of my Dad Robert Aran who passed away from Covid last year. The UK is marking one year since the first coronavirus lockdown was announced. On 23 March 2020 Boris Johnson outlined measures to stop the spread of Covid-19. Since then, the UK's official death toll has risen from 364 to 126,172. With the lockdown have come tough restrictions on socialising, closures of schools, pubs and shops with many rules currently still in place. A national minute's silence was held at midday as part of a day of reflection.
