The lonely streets, the haircuts at home, the huge healthcare system in the fields, thanking the NHS - all of these are reflection of the lives of the people of England in the lockdown during CoronaVirus epidemic.
An organization named "Historic England" recently called for pictures from the public to show how people in England are spending their time in the lockdown.
More than three thousand pictures were submitted in response to this. From there they chose 200 pictures.
Historic England says, this is the first time since World War II that pictures have been collected from the general public.
