One year of Leeds lockdown: The craziest and most striking photos since Leeds first entered lockdown one year ago

From deserted city centre streets to queues down the block for toilet roll, it's fair to say there were countless landmark moments from Leeds' year of lockdowns since the first one began one year ago.

Since the first lockdown in March 2020, the city has been through three national lockdowns and a raft of Tier changes, as well as a few months of semi-normality in summer 2020. There have been queues for IKEA and McDonald's, a promotion party, a big snowball fight and more queues for Primark - as well as a lot of forlornly empty streets inbetween.
