The Queen has said she was"inspired" to see"the resilience of the British people" shown through a photographic lockdown project led by the Duchess of Cambridge.
Kate came up with the idea of"Hold Still", a project she hoped would capture the country's experiences of COVID-19 through photographs. Launched in May, in partnership with the National Portrait Gallery, they received over 31,000 images in six weeks. Kate and a panel of judges then selected 100 photographs that have now gone on display in a digital online gallery.In a message to launch the gallery, the Queen said:"It was with great pleasure that I had the opportunity to look through a number of the portraits that made the final 100 images for the Hold Still photography project.
"The Duchess of Cambridge and I were inspired to see how the photographs have captured the resilience of the British people at such a challenging time, whether that is through celebrating frontline workers, recognising community spirit or showing the efforts of individuals supporting those in need.
Hold Still focuses on three themes that capture and document how the UK has dealt with the pandemic, including helpers and heroes, your"new normal" and acts of kindness. The final 100 images tackle subjects including family life in lockdown, the work of healthcare staff and the Black Lives Matter movement.
