Coronavirus update - Easter Monday

* A local family proudly wearing their #Llangollenfamily t-shirts.

Cat Meade, co-ordinator of the Llangollen Coronvirus Help Group, posted on Facebook yesterday: “HAPPY EASTER ALL. This morning My Son & I delivered some #llangollenfamily T-shirts. Wow they are Fab, we had ours today too.

“Please get your T-shirts to support our Group - £4 for every adult and £2 every child goes to the support group!

“Would also like a big #llangollenfamily party after this with us all in these tops. What a pic that would be.”

* Care worker Lynne wearing one of the donated visors.

Also yesterday the team at The Old Vicarage care home took to Facebook to thank a local church for providing their staff with personal protection visors.

Together with a picture of one of the team wearing one of the face-guards, they said: “With thanks to CITY CHURCH for providing us and other local care homes with visors.

“We’re so proud of our community and the joint efforts everyone is making - it’s been overwhelming to see how kind people can be. Thankfully we are all well and in high spirits, we hope you are too! Keep smiling,

“Here’s Lynne giving you a virtual hug to say thanks.”

* Father Lee with the Easter flame.

Llangollen vicar, Father Lee Taylor, was alone when he conducted his Easter Sunday service at St Collen’s yesterday morning and once again streamed it live on Facebook to his usual congregation and beyond.

A centrepiece of the altar area until after the current crisis is over, he said, will be the Easter flame brought into church the previous evening.

This will remain lit as a symbol of hope until the lockdown ends and he added that Easter would be celebrated properly then.

During the service he prayed for the sick and those who had lost their lives to coronavirus, either alone or in hospital.
