Gloucester marked the National Day of Reflection earlier by unveiling its Covid-19 Memorial in Gloucester Park.
Representatives from Gloucester City Council, along with invited guests, came together at the unveiling to mark the fifth anniversary of the pandemic.
The memorial near the Spa Road entrance, features eight trees surrounding a plaque, each representing a group of key workers who provided essential services.
Councillor Caroline Courtney, Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure at Gloucester City Council, said: “Covid touched all our lives and most of us are still struggling with the immense impact it had and continues to have, whether it’s in terms of loved ones we lost, long-term health issues, or even the huge mental health challenges it presented.
“The significance of what happened should never be forgotten along with the dedication and bravery shown by those who put themselves in harm’s way to help people who needed them.”
