In this period of isolation for so many, it can be a heartwarming activity to look back on times spent with loved ones and amongst members of one’s community.

In today’s gallery, we see clear examples of a united community coming together to entertain at the News & Star’s Concert for the Community, with individuals young and old, both performing and looking on. In many ways, these pictures show the exceptional talent that can be found in the arts in our region.

It has been a difficult time for some arts venues and for performers recently and these images show the unique uplifting impact that entertainers can have in one’s life, as well as the liberating impact of the arts for many performers.

As ever, if you spot yourself do get in touch to share your memories!
