People share their stories of separation and loss from May 2020 amid anger over the No 10 lockdown party.
She says "most devastating" was how the restrictions affected Ruby's closest friends in her final weeks.
Toni Kent contacted us to say her mother died on 22 May 2020, a couple of days after the Downing Street party. The lockdown rules in place then prevented her from breaking the news to her brother in person. "To discover that drinks parties were taking place between the very people who were telling us that we could not meet each other is sickening to hear."Only nine people were allowed at Jamie Briffett's mother-in-law's funeral
"We find it absolutely infuriating and irresponsible that the government could go ahead and have a party while so many of their fellow citizens were abiding by the rules. "People sacrificed so much. People died sticking to the rules and they [the Downing Street party guests] broke those rules to have a bottle of wine."Lydia said she felt alone during some of the most difficult moments
When her newborn son was crying, she recounts having no loved ones there to help during the difficult moments.
