Covid National Day of Reflection: 15 pictures remembering the empty streets of Blackpool during lockdown

To mark Covid National Day of Reflection, we are taking a look back into the archives at what Blackpool was like during the first lockdown...

Tomorrow is the fourth annual Covid National Day of Reflection; organised by Marie Curie, the day offers an opportunity for us all to remember the lives that were lost during the Covid pandemic.

When lockdown was first announced on March 23 2020, no one could have anticipated the disruption that coronvirus would go on to cause for everyone. We may be out the other side of it now, but the effects are still felt by all.

Below we are remembering those strange times with a gallery depicting Blackpool's empty streets in the aftermath of the lockdown's announcement back in 2020.
