LUKE MARSDEN: We’ll meet again - but not yet

How will we possibly get though this summer without watching half-naked people discuss which brand of prosecco they prefer?

I spoke to fellow Wiganer Kay Burley on her Sky News breakfast show this week and told her of my lack of surprise.

In the midst of a global pandemic does anyone give a bikini’s bottom about Love Island?

2020 may as well be cancelled, sporting events are off, music gigs are off and the only thing that we have got to look forward to is endless Loose Women repeats.

Yes, let’s reset this year and try again in 2021.

I had lots of plans for how this year was going to look and most of them will have to be postponed but it’s the people who have been planning for a big event, a wedding etc, who I feel for the most.

Years of preparation for the big day and probably the item every wedding planner would naturally overlook: a global virus.

On Sunday Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he will reveal a roadmap of how lives may try to get back to “normal”: a word that is a top contender for word of the year alongside “unprecedented”.

Unless we can queue up for a portaloo in a muddy field, put our phone torches on and swing our phones back and forth, I fear normal is a long way away.

I’ve never actually been to a music gig in a field, can you tell?

I do believe we will see each other again (The Queen told us we would!) albeit we may be two metres apart.

But at this point I think I speak for all of us when I say, I’ll take that.

A message from the Editorial Director, Gillian Parkinson:

Thank you for reading this story on our website.

But I also have an urgent plea to make of you.

In order for us to continue to provide high quality local news on this free-to-read site and in print, please purchase a copy of our newspaper as well.

With the coronavirus lockdown having a major impact on our town centres and many of our valued advertisers - and consequently the advertising that we receive - we are more reliant than ever on you buying a copy when you pop out for your essential shop or subscribing for delivery.

Our journalists are highly trained by the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) and our content is independently regulated by IPSO to some of the most rigorous standards anywhere in the world. Our content is universally trusted - as all independent research proves.

As Baroness Barran said in a House of Lords debate this week on the importance of journalists: "Not only are they a trusted source of facts, but they will have a role to play in rallying communities and getting the message across about how we can keep ourselves and our families safe, and protect our NHS. Undoubtedly, they have a critical role."

But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. So we need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis. In return we will continue to forensically cover the local news - not only the impact of the virus but all the positive and uplifting news happening in these dark days.

We thank all our readers and advertisers for their understanding and support - and we wish YOU all the best in the coming weeks. Keep safe, and follow the Government advice. Thank you.
