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 Nanna & Bampy. I’m over here and you are over there, when we FaceTime minutes feel like seconds but when I don’t see you days feel like years. I miss our crazy Friday nights together and I can’t wait for this all to be over to make more lovely memories with you. Love you lots, Jaycee xx
