IT'S hard to imagine a time when social distancing wasn't part of everyday life.
The rule has become pivotal in the fight against coronavirus, to try and slow down the spread of the virus.
It's become so much the norm that we now find it hard to remember a time when it felt safe to hug, embrace or shake hands, let alone be part of a huge crowd.
That's why the pictures on this spread are so striking.
They show a huge audience at Colchester's JobServe Community Stadium, there to watch superstar Sir Elton John in June 2014.
The flamboyant, award-winning musician delighted 16,000 fans and they rose as one as he opened the show and sang favourites including Candle in the Wind and I'm Still Standing.
Have you got pictures of yourself within a huge crowd at Colchester?
You might have one of a football match at the stadium or at an event in town or in Castle Park.
If so, we'd love to see them.
Send your pictures and a few details to matt.plummer@newsquest.co.uk
