"Today, we take a moment to reflect. Five years on from the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we remember those we lost, the sacrifices made and the resilience shown by our communities."
"We honour the lives cut short, the families forever changed and the extraordinary efforts of those who cared for others. We acknowledge the strength, kindness and unity that helped us through, from frontline workers who gave everything to those who supported neighbours, friends and strangers in their time of need."
"The impact of the pandemic is still felt by many and today is an opportunity to come together in shared remembrance. Whether by observing a moment of silence or simply holding a loved one close, I encourage everyone to take time to reflect on what we have been through and how we move forward."
"Wherever you are, I invite you to pause, reflect and stand together in remembrance and hope for the future."
Mrs Julie Spence, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire
