THE STORY of the last 12 months is told here in pictures from across the Southampton area.
From the heroism of our NHS staff in PPE fighting to save lives, who were clapped appreciatively from our doorsteps (or balconies) to the deserted streets of Southampton city centre.
Hairdressers, pubs and shops have been shut, reopened and shut again as we endured three lockdowns. And then there is the picture of hope as the first priority group to get their vaccine rolled up their sleeves.
