Lancashire in lockdown at Easter: Popular spots pictured empty as people thanked for staying at home

A warm bank holiday weekend at Easter would normally see Lancashire come alive with activity as people make the most of the sunshine.

But this is no ordinary Easter and police have been thanking everyone who is sticking to the restrictions and staying at home. Here are some of the photos shared by officers enjoying an unusually quiet weekend.
