It contrasts our lockdowns, with his. Zoom in for a closer look – visit CLICK HERE.

The video at the top of this 38 Degrees sponsored content article tells the stories behind the photos.

This is the story of two very different lockdowns: inside and outside No 10.

The image of the PM partying has been turned into a People’s Photo - made up of hundreds and hundreds of pictures from people across Britain who stayed home to save lives.

Each photo is a story of sacrifice. Elderly relatives alone for Christmas. Last goodbyes with loved ones behind perspex sheets. Seeing grandchildren for the first time over Zoom.

These are the sacrifices shared by thousands of us up and down the country - and are the reason why, despite the PM’s wishes, we can’t just move on.

Did your lockdown look more like the tiny images here than No 10s?
