In Greater Manchester, hundreds of people have tragically lost their lives to coronavirus. And as the figures for the number of people who have died in our region are released daily, it's easy to forget that behind every one of these numbers is a person.
Every number represents a human being who was loved by someone. They were mothers, sons, dads and daughters, who had fantastic stories to tell.
The Manchester Evening News has vowed to pay tribute to COVID-19 victims from our region in our Loved and Lost series. Every victim of the virus has a story.
We want to tell them all. This week, more grieving families have been in touch with tributes for people whose lives were cut short after they contracted COVID-19.
