People across Kent share their pictures of lockdown for Snapshot Kent

Birthdays in lockdown, Easter celebrations and missing family are among the themes of some of the latest pictures you have sent in for our competition, Snapshot Kent.

Throughout the coronavirus outbreak, all of us have had to find new ways to connect, have fun and keep active.

We may at times feel lonely, frustrated and anxious about the future but we're pulling together to get through lockdown and we're sharing how you've been doing it with Snapshot Kent.

Entries need to be just one snapshot, taken in your home or garden between now and the day lockdown is lifted.

Apart from that anything goes. Your picture can be candid or staged, funny or contemplative. And you've been busy showing us how you're continuing to live in lockdown across Kent.

Finley Brown, six, and Fletcher Brown, two, have started #Bordenstones, in the nature reserve at Borden, Sittingbourne, with mum Tanya saying: "They get excited everyday to see how many more have been added to the pile."

For Linda Tozer from Rainham, missing her five grandchildren over Easter, meant taking pictures of what would be waiting for them when lockdown is over.

We've also had birthday pictures and plenty of sun-kissed Easter weekend celebrations - as well as Stay at Home messages and gratitude for the NHS. See some of the latest pictures here:

We want Snapshot Kent to be a record of local life during this pandemic, and we will be using as many as possible to create an online gallery and in our newspapers too.

It will be a chance for us all - and future generations - all to see how the people of Kent got through these extraordinary times.
