READERS of the Hexham Courant responded to a request to share their messages of love to people they’re missing during lockdown.

The Courant asked followers on its social media accounts to share messages they would like to include to their loved ones who they haven’t been able to see since the country was asked to stay at home to reduce the spread of coronavirus.

Included among the messages we received was this one from Jaylen Myers to his grandfather Philip Clark. He said: “I miss you so much Big Grandad Hexham and I cant wait to see you. Love from Jaylen xxx”
