A National Day of Reflection is being held today to remember those lost to Coronavirus.

The day is being led by Marie Curie, and is being run in conjunction with 'Light Up Wales', which has organised for the Cenotaph, Town Hall and Western Shelter to be lit yellow.

Since the first lockdown began in 2020, hundreds of thousands of people have died.

According to ONS data, 13 people in Cowbridge have lost their lives to the virus since March 2020.

Behind the statistics and whatever the cause, every death has been devastating for the people left behind.

A minute's silence will be held at 12 noon, and Marie Curie has organised candlelight vigils.

"At 8pm we'll hold a minute's silence and come together to light up the night," said the charity.

"Stand outside with a light – a candle, a torch, even your phone - to remember someone who's died and show your support to people going through a bereavement.

"There are still tough times ahead, as the death toll continues to rise.

"This annual day will give us all time to pause and think about this unprecedented loss we're facing, and support each other through grief in the years to come."
