Social media heroes part sixty one: images, videos and stories of unity and fun

Buttercups

I was fortunate enough to have my second dose of the Covid vaccine last week. I feel absolutely rotten but don’t let that put you off: no amount of sleepiness and dizziness is worse than a breathing tube in intensive care. There is a long list of people who need the jab and – so far – a limited number of vials of the vaccine, but each person who gets a dose takes us a step forward.

So I’ve been enjoying trawling social media to find the best posts to keep you entertained, moved and informed. Here they are:
