The year has brought heartbreak to those whose loved ones have died after contracting Covid-19. But it has also been a year where the very best of humanity has shone through - from those providing support to the most vulnerable to the world’s scientists working together to bring the world the breakthrough everyone has been waiting for. It was on March 3 the town recorded its first reported coronavirus case, and just 17 days later, people enjoyed a night on the town before the first national lockdown.

AN 80-year-old married couple from Bromley Cross made history yesterday by being the first people in Bolton to received the covid-19 vaccine. Michael and Ann Clubley, who both turned 80 earlier this year, were the first in line to be vaccinated on Tuesday at Tonge Moor Health Centre. The couple received their vaccination shortly before 8am, administered by Dr Helen Wall, clinical director of commissioning at Bolton Clinical Commissioning Group. After having the vaccine, Mrs Clubley said: We re very pleased and grateful to have had it, it was quite surprising actually to find out we were getting it. We re looking forward to hugging our loved ones again.
