Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, launched a photo project to encourage Britons to provide pictures of their daily lives and what "helpers and heroes" do, to record a glimpse of Britain in the shadow of the closure due to the Corona virus.
The project, run by the National Gallery of London, aims to document the public’s spirit and mood during the six-week closure, during which people have been subject to severe restrictions on movement and gatherings.
Britain has the largest official death toll from the emerging corona virus in Europe, according to figures released on Tuesday, and a flow of support for health care workers and others who have been doing necessary since the measures were imposed in an effort to curb an outbreak of Covid-19.
Kate, who is caring for the gallery, who is also a photographer, said the project seeks to record the "steadfastness, courage and kindness" that people exhibit in these extraordinary times. "We were surprised by some of the amazing pictures that we saw, which give us a glimpse into the experiences and stories of people across the country," she added in a statement.
The Kensington Palace said that the project is open to present images from the British of all ages and abilities, and 100 photos will be selected based on the feelings and experience they convey, not on the basis of their quality to be displayed in a digital exhibition.
