FOR young people across Gwent, the coronavirus lockdown meant not being able to see their beloved grandparents.

So, on our Facebook page, we asked you to send in messages and pictures from young people to their grandparents saying how much they are missing them during the lockdown - and the response we received was incredible.

Here are just a few of the pictures and messages we received. If you sent a message in and it isn't included don't be disappointed - we received so many we can't feature them all at once, but we will feature every message and picture we received in the coming weeks and days.

Hi nanny! I can’t wait to have our dates on a Monday again, McDonald’s after school and sweets, I really miss you tickling me and making me laugh and going in you’re car. We all need to stay in and stay safe for now though, I will soon be up to play ball with foxy in no time and for a big cuddle and kiss! I love you nanny all around the world xx - from Jacob Mumford, pictured with his nanny Lizzie Roberts.
