Downing Street photo: 'To see that - it's incredibly painful, it feels very insulting'
Using the hashtag #May2020, thousands of people have taken to social media to describe their sadness and anger in reaction to a photograph of Boris Johnson and staff gathered for cheese and wine in the garden of Downing Street, taken at a time when the UK was in the midst of lockdown.
Emma Jones is one of those people. Her daughter, Ruby Fuller, died at the age of 18 on 15th May 2020 - just hours before that photo was taken.
She spoke to Emma Barnett about being just one of the many people who lost a loved during the pandemic, and her daughter being unable to say goodbye to friends or family.
