In Pictures: 100 days in lockdown

It has been 100 days since Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a strict lockdown in England to help combat coronavirus.

With the devolved administrations setting their own similar measures, communities across the UK were soon adapting to homeworking and home schooling, with non-essential shops closed and streets empty of traffic under the new rules that limited when people could go outside.

We look back at the highlights and frustrations of the weeks since March 23.
