The coronavirus pandemic is having a huge impact on all of our lives.
Over 10,000 people have now died as a direct result of Covid-19, almost 250,000 people have been infected, and just about everybody has, in some way or another, been affected by it in recent days and weeks.

Whether you’re a Liverpool fan or not, though, this was a spine-tingling moment. It was played on various UK radio stations, including on BBC Radio 2…Some people admitted this rare emotional moment of solidarity and unity brought them to tears…
