Covid-19 has changed the world in ways that none of us could have imagined.
The coronavirus and lockdowns it necessitated caused tragedy, but has also prompted our communities to pull together in new and inspiring ways.
We are inviting readers to share their tributes for all the lives lost, as well as messages for dedicated healthcare workers and those working on the front line, those raising money for charity and helping their friends, relatives and neighbours; and, of course, the loved ones we have lost.
A dedicated Covid-19 tribute page has been set up for BFP readers to share their messages - whether they are in support of frontline workers, or tributes and stories for the lives affected.
If you know someone who you want to thank, praise, remember or pay tribute to, leave your messages, poems, stories and artwork here.
Comments: Our rules
We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.
Please report any comments that break our rules.
