A service and remembrance walk have been held in Lancaster to mark five years since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The short service was held in the Remembrance Gardens at Lancaster Town Hall on Sunday, to remember those who lost their lives.
Councillor Hamish Mills, deputy mayor of Lancaster, laid a wreath during the ceremony in the gardens and then at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary during a walk to remember those who lost their lives.
The annual National Covid-19 Day of Reflection, held on Sunday March 9, honours lives lost, the hardships endured, and the collective resilience of communities and key workers.
People and communities are invited to come together on the Day of Reflection, to mark the day in ways that feel meaningful to them.
The Covid-19 outbreak was declared a global pandemic on March 11 2020, by the World Health Organisation.
Councillor Hamish Mills is pictured below, laying a wreath.
