Heartbreaking pilgrimage of grieving Covid families to honour those lost

Every Friday, a dedicated group of volunteers travels to the Covid Memorial Wall opposite the Houses of Parliament to preserve the memory of those we lost to the pandemic.

Their task is to paint hearts, ensuring the symbols which represent the dead don't fade away through time and the effects of weather.

Fittingly, it is a weekly devotion that comes from the heart, as each of the women who make the pilgrimage with their paintbrushes lost at least one loved one as coronavirus took a terrible toll on the country.
