In a message to encourage entries Kate says: "There have been so many amazing entries to Hold Still over the last few weeks.

"From families up and down the country showing how they are adapting to life during lockdown, through to some of the most amazing NHS and social care staff who are putting their lives on the line to save the lives of others.

"But it isn't too late to take part.

"So please take a moment to capture what life is like for you, because together I hope that we can build a lasting illustration of just how our country pulled together during the pandemic.

"I can't wait to share the final 100 images with you."

The project is run in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery.
