From March 23 communities across the Southampton area and beyond have been living under lockdown.

Our usual ways of life have been turned upside down.

We have taken on home learning and home working, sport has been cancelled, pubs shut and gyms closed.

Today we are all living in what has been described as “the new normal”.

Yes, as we all struggle with the horror of the coronavirus pandemic there have been moments of light that have brightened our lives. From the Thursday clap honouring our heroes on the frontline, to the thousands of rainbows that have adorned windows in streets across the conurbation, to the community spirit that has seen many go out of their way to help others.

We want to share them with our readers and mark the last eight weeks of our world under the tough restrictions that have been inflicted on us all.

We want Daily Echo readers to come forward and help us put together a Life in Lockdown special edition.

l How have you kept yourself entertained during the long days – have you done something for charity or just something totally whacky? Please let us know and send in your photos.

l Has your new baby been born in lockdown? Share your joy and send in their name and photograph

l What imaginative ideas have you and kids come up with to help pass the time? Share it with our readers and send in a picture.

l Finally, have you been cut off from grandparents, grand children or other family members because of the restrictions? If so send us a photo and a message letting them know how much you miss them.
