There is no doubt that in these most jarring times, what so many of us long for is a return of the community spirit that has been a lot harder to achieve in lockdown!

With social distancing, support bubbles and general isolation, pictures like these featured in today's gallery serve as a reminder of what life will hopefully one day resemble once more.

Today's gallery shows a community coming together to help its local traders and its important causes at Whitehaven Christmas Market. For those featured, these images will bring back happy memories of a wholesome day spent in and amongst one's community, either as a shopper or, indeed, a trader!

As ever, if you do spot yourself, make sure to get in touch.
