Who said it

“Covid is down in Scotland, you can see that from the figures, but as we can still see here and more starkly in more parts of the world, Covid is not out. It is a virus that is very much still with us” - First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.

“So many people are either bereaved, they’ve lost a loved one, or they are otherwise moved by what they’ve seen here. It’s obviously very personal, but I think with the time we are in now where we are beginning to come out of lockdown, people feel it is the right time to reflect, and this really seems to resonate with people” - Matt Fowler, co-founder of the Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice group, on the creation of a heart-festooned memorial wall on London’s Southbank. “Paul was a lovely, wonderful human being. Kind, funny, super caring and the greatest actor

I ever worked with” - Writer Robert Popper, creator of Friday Night Dinner, following the death of actor Paul Ritter, who starred in the Channel 4 sitcom.

“At the moment, as I look at all the data, I can’t see any reason for us to deviate from the road map that we have set out, we are sticking to it” - Prime Minister Boris Johnson on the government’s road map for lifting lockdown. “Volunteers bring an unrivalled spirit and warmth to any major event and, in return, have the chance to represent the city and have a truly unique experience” Glasgow City Council’s Cop26 volunteer manager, Claire Shiel, on the news that more than 10,000 people from 98 countries have applied to volunteer at the Cop26 international climate summit in Scotland later this year.
