These poignant photos show empty streets and fields that would usually be packed with crowds for Easter events in Harborough

Andrew Carpenter went to the popular events to record the empty scenes that will go down in history.

The Easter weekend would usually be a bust time for Harborough Mail photographer Andrew Carpenter. He would be visiting the bottle kicking at Hallaton, the Easter services in the town centre and the Woodland Pytchley Point to Point. But with everyone in lockdown, these events obviously did not happen in 2020. But Andrew still went to the scenes to record the empty streets and fields (while keeping to social distancing rules, of course). Here are his photos.
