The Queen today led Britain in remembering the victims of coronavirus as the country held a national minute's silence at midday to mark the anniversary of the first national lockdown.
Boris Johnson, who was almost killed by Covid-19 himself, offered his 'sincere condolences to those who have lost loved ones' while Prince Charles called on Britain to 'remember the lives tragically cut short'.
And the Queen said in a statement released at noon: 'As we look forward to a brighter future together, today we pause to reflect on the grief and loss that continues to be felt by so many people and families, and pay tribute to the immeasurable service of those who have supported us all over the last year.'
