More than 100,000 people have now died with coronavirus in the UK.
Every one of those lives lost has marked a personal tragedy.
But together they represent a significant moment in the pandemic for the UK, which has been one of the countries hardest hit by COVID-19 with Europe's highest recorded number of deaths.
These are 100 of those 100,000 lost to COVID.
John Collins, 68, Harrow
Sharon holds a photo of her father taken three years ago on a cruise to the Caribbean with friends.
"Dad loved it," she recalls. "He loved sunshine, loved heat on his bones. He wanted to go to Canada or Portugal next."
Sharon was John's only child from a 50-year marriage to Grace. "We had a father daughter bond, we were very close. I was always a bit of a Daddy’s girl, we were exceptionally close," she says.
John "loved his job" as an electrical engineer, and worked with a wide group of friends over nearly 20 years. "He was very good to other people, always there for them," Sharon says. "The things we've learned dad did for people – so kind and generous all the time.
"He was always laughing and joking and a bit of a lovable character."
John contracted COVID in hospital after being admitted for a chest infection.
"As a family we feel robbed."
Octavia Jayasuriya, 84, London
Himani Weir has many memories of her mother, Octavia Jayasuriya, who died from COVID-19 at a care home in southeast London in April.
The 84-year-old suffered from Parkinson's disease and had heart problems.
She had a silly laugh at "inappropriate times" and would get Himani and her sister "giggling at times when we shouldn’t really be laughing, awkward moments and things and she would start crying with laughter".
Holding a picture of her mother taken soon after she moved into the home, Himani said she misses "being able to give her a hug. I miss her advice, which I didn't always take, but was always there".
She misses her mum's cooking as well, she said - and although she "had a very difficult life, with many challenges", she was "a very strong woman in many ways, quiet ways".
Areema Nasreen, 36, West Midlands
Areema was "fun" growing up, her sister Kazeema Afzal recalled.
"She was like a mum. More than an older sister, and a best friend. If we were ever stuck, we'd always get to Areema", who could "solve it without our mum knowing", she added with a smile.
Growing up, "we were so close - the bond we had, I don't think I can ever get that again".
The 36-year-old mother-of-three was a staff nurse at Walsall Manor Hospital and had worked in the NHS for more than 16 years.
The night she died, Kazeema, also a nurse, said she "just ran" to the hospital after Areema messaged to say she was going into ICU.
Kazeema said she stayed with her for eight hours. "She was gasping for breath and telling me it would be alright."
For her sister's children, "every day since is different but worse", she added.
Caroline Walters, 64, Solihull
Kerry Walters broke down as she recalled how her mother was taken from her in April last year.
Caroline Walters, from Meriden, Solihull, had "an infectious laugh", Kerry said and was simply "a funny woman".
"Everyone knew her by her laugh. She just made everyone laugh, she didn't take anything seriously. Big smiles all the time. We were away [on holiday] last Christmas, just before she had an operation on her lungs," said Kerry.
"My kids are heartbroken. My mum, literally, five days out of seven, she'd be at my house. And she'd look after them in school holidays.
"They were just lost, they couldn't believe it. You just get used to having your mum there, and just being able to call her. She was like my best friend."
Cliff Burrows, 82, Bath
Rachel Pennant says her father, Cliff, was "a real character, he was a real presence in a room".
Professor Burrows, the former Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Bath, died aged 82 in April.
She smiled as she remembered hearing that at university meetings, "he'd have his eyes shut and everyone would think he was asleep. But he wasn't asleep - he was carefully listening and he would pounce with a question which would catch his listeners, unawares, shall we say?"
He was, she said, an "inspiring" and "determined" man who "you wanted on your side if you were fighting something".
Rachel said: "He was passionate about justice and passionate about his family, especially his grandchildren. He loved seeing them."
Mr Burrows, who was awarded an OBE in 2005, was ordained in the Church of England and was a man of faith, she added, and his faith "underpinned everything he stood for".
Dr Abdul-Razaq Abdullah, 68, London
Dr Abdul-Razaq Abdullah was "one of the most generous men I've ever had the pleasure of knowing", his daughter Ziena said, especially with his time.
The east London GP, who worked in general practice for over 30 years and had a sole practice in Rainham, "gave so much back to the community".
One of her earliest memories, she said, was of there "always being someone round, for him to help and support".
People would visit him at their family home, she said, "either for medical advice or for help filling in a form because they couldn't speak or read or write English".
The father-of-five, who arrived in Britain from Iraq in 1985, died aged 68 at Queen's Hospital, Romford, where he spent a month suffering from the virus.
Bob and Craig Rowell, Huddersfield
Scott Rowell, from Huddersfield, lost his 70-year-old father, Bob, and his elder brother, Craig, to COVID-19 in a 10-day period in April.
48-year-old Craig, he said, had recently left a job as a test driver for the McLaren Formula One racing team and once texted Scott to tell him he had driven Cristiano Ronaldo's car.
"And I went 'you only text me to show off'," Scott remembered.
The three of them were car-mad, he said, "just loved sports cars" and could always spend "hours and hours just talking about engines, driving fast. We just loved cars and that's what I'll miss the most."
A few weeks before his death, Craig had been accepted as a firefighter and "he was so happy and I was so proud of him".
Scott said: "In life we always think we should take those chances, but we never do and they both - more towards the end of their lives, sadly - they both took chances and said 'd'you know what, we've just got to go for it'."
"Life is too short and they’ve definitely taught me that," he added.
Robert Pape, 53, Altrincham
"Bob was the most amazing person… so full of life, so full of joy," Amanda Jane Pape said of her husband, Robert.
"There was nothing he didn't want to try, there was nobody he wouldn't talk to. He just loved life.
"He just seemed to take this big bite out of everything life offered. I miss going on holiday with him, and having him murder the French language."
Recalling his boundless enthusiasm, she said the father-of-four from Altrincham, who died aged 53 in September, had "signed them up for Mars".
"I have a lovely family but I really miss him," she said.
After meeting in their 40s, Amanda said they "could read each other's minds".
"We could sit in silence and just be - and I miss that very much," she said.
She cried as she admitted "the funniest things can set me off", adding: "So many hopes and dreams and now it's all gone."
Luigi Ciesco, 79, Epsom
"Luigi means courageous warrior – and that's exactly what my father was," says daughter Elena.
"20 years ago he contracted MRSA in hospital in Epsom, and that's where he then died with COVID. He was so precious to us because he had survived so much in the past."
The photograph Elena holds was taken on her father's birthday in 2016 when they both went on a Thames cruise.
"He loved to explore, he was a real free spirit. Loved being out and about and doing lots of things," she says.
"On that birthday we danced on the boat. He loved music and food."
A father-of-four, and grandfather-of-eight, Luigi worked for the NHS in Epsom.
"Everyone who knew him," Elena says. "Friends or family, people in the doctor's surgery or even in Sainsbury's knew him as happy and smiley and always chatting to people.
"He was just an amazing man."
