We reported earlier how Leicester is not seeing its pubs, restaurants or hair salons reopen today.
The city is subject to a local lockdown after a surge in coronavirus infections.
Although non-essential establishments remain closed in its deserted city centre, Leicester's market remains open.
Dhansukh Rana, 79, was shopping for some fruit and vegetables at a stall with his wife.
“It’s really sad this is happening to Leicester,” he said. “A lot of people are suffering.
“We have to get out for our walk and exercise because, at my age, I have to keep moving. But it is sad they have left out Leicester when the rest of the UK is moving on.”
