Bradford has been marking a year since the start of the first coronavirus lockdown and joining the national day of reflection:

As well as a minute's silence, marked at midday, people in the district are being encouraged to mark the anniversary with a doorstep vigil this evening.

Bradford City Hall will also be lit up yellow.

In a message posted online, Lord Mayor of Bradford, Councillor Doreen Lee, says: "It's been a long, difficult and often heartbreaking year.

"Not a single person in the country has remained unaffected by the enormous changes this health crisis has brought about."

Posting on social media, the chief executive of Bradford Teaching Hospitals paid tribute to the NHS Trust staff and patients:

Reflecting on March 2020, Dr Dinesh Saralaya, one of the specialists working on the coronavirus frontline in Bradford, told BBC Radio Bradford the surge of cases in London at the time was concerning.

"We knew that it was a matter of a week before the north would be hit.

"I remember my own wife being very nervous each time I was going to the hospital, because these were the days we were hearing about healthcare workers dying from Covid-19.

"Sso we had to make sure we were wearing adequate PPE and taking care of our own selves."

Deborah Leitch had Down's syndrome and died of severe emaciation and neglect in Blackpool in 2019.

A man from North Yorkshire says he thinks about his wife of 57 years "all the time" following her death at the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

Reg Kemp's wife, Liz, became ill at the start of the pandemic and subsequently died in a Scarborough care home.

This is his story:

A year since the UK went into its first lockdown, five young people from North Yorkshire spoke to BBC Radio York about what they've found difficult, how they've coped, and what they're looking forward to.

Isabella (pictured above), 11, from Selby, said she struggled with staying in, adding: "It's really weird because you have to stay apart and you just want to go closer even though you have to stay apart."

The primary school pupil used her lockdown time to clean up her local area by litter-picking, and has also been raising money for her gymnastics club.

"There was loads of litter around and I didn't like how it looked, so I wanted to go litter-picking," she said.

A year on, Isabella says she's most looking forward to "going on holiday again and sunbathing, shopping and just going out".

Nine-year-old Ruari and his brother Isaac (pictured above), 12, slept in their garden for 51 nights over lockdown in a challenge which saw them raise more than £1,500 for the RSPCA.

Ruari, from Acomb, York, said: "It's quite terrifying to be honest. Sometimes people close to you could get the virus and have to isolate immediately for two weeks straight."

He thought home-schooling was "really tough", but was also worried about not being able to return to the classroom.

"I am really worried my education might not be that good, and if we can't get back to school, I might be working from home all the way up to college, who knows? And I might not go into school again, which is really worrying."

A judge tells the driver he had shown no interest in the welfare of his teenage passenger who was lucky to escape serious injury.

A year on from the first announcement of the coronavirus lockdown, people have taken a moment to reflect on the past 12 months.

In York Minster, candles were lit to remember those who have been lost.

In Bradford, Marie Curie Hospice staff took part in a minute's silence:

A year on since Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the first coronavirus lockdown, people have been sharing their stories with us.

A minute's silence has been observed by staff and members of the public at Sheffield railway station this afternoon.

A national moment of reflection took place at 12:00 to remember those who have died during the coronavirus pandemic:

One year on from the first national coronavirus lockdown a critical care nurse from York who tearfully urged the public to stop panic-buying last year has said she doubts she'll remain in nursing "long-term".

Dawn Bilbrough's video message in March 2020 went viral after she found supermarket shelves empty after working a 48-hour week:

The 52-year-old told the BBC nothing in her 20-year nursing career could have prepared her for the last 12 months.

Speaking as the anniversary of her video approached, she said: "There have been times when I've come home and had a good cry, because we have witnessed so much.

"We're at the patients' bedside 12 hours a day and they haven't had that usual psychological support from their families."

She described seeing coronavirus patients die as a "burden" she has to bear.

In normal times, she might lose a patient in intensive care once every two weeks, but during the pandemic several were dying every day.

She said: "I was once working in a pod where there were four patients with Covid. I left my shift at 20:00 in the evening. When I returned the next day all the patients had died, and were replaced with different people."

Speaking about her future in the medical profession, Ms Bilbrough added: "This last year I've been struggling to maintain my energy, so at the moment who knows? But long-term I don't think I'll be in nursing."

One year on from the beginning of the first coronavirus lockdown, key workers in Yorkshire have been talking about a year they could never have imagined.

Takeaway driver Dee Uddin, from Sheffield, has worked throughout the crisis for a number of different companies delivering meals, food, medicines and groceries to people. He said the work had changed over the last year.

"You can't go home as often as you would, during the quiet period, just in case you've caught the virus."

Instead he works right through the day and goes home to shower at the end of a shift.

"I will drop the kids off in the morning and won't see them till last thing at night. It's been hard, the little sacrifices you have to make."

Many major firms have increased the number of people driving for them to meet demand and that has also had an impact.

"The pay has gone down, there's a load more drivers and what we were earning a couple of years ago, I don't think we are earning half that now," he said.

Despite the problems, Mr Uddin said he was proud of what he has been doing.

"I am doing something for our country, they needed us we stepped up. Survival of other people is more important to us than thinking about ourselves."

Events are being held across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire to mark an anniversary no-one wants to celebrate.

It's exactly one year since the beginning of the first national coronavirus lockdown.

On 23 March 2020, Prime Minister Boris Johnson outlined measures to stop the spread of the virus. Since then, the UK's official death toll, external has risen from 364 to 126,172.

Since the start of the pandemic more than 10,000 people in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have died with Covid-19.

Today the trust which runs hospitals in Lincolnshire has organised a virtual church service to mark a year since the hospitals' first coronavirus patients were admitted, and will remember patients and staff who've lost their lives.

It's teamed up with St Wulfram’s Church in Grantham to stream the service online tonight.

Lincoln Cathedral will be lit yellow to mark the anniversary, as will some West Yorkshire buildings, including the Civic Hall and Town Hall in Leeds and Bradford City Hall.

Meanwhile, York Minster and Ripon Cathedral are opening their doors. Ripon Cathedral will be open from 10:00 and York Minster from 11:30, to allow visitors to say a prayer and light a candle in memory of loved ones.

At midday today Yorkshire will join the rest of the UK in a minute's silence as part of a national day of reflection.

People are also being encouraged to stand on their doorsteps at 20:00 with phones, candles and torches to signify a "beacon of remembrance".
