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.

South Wales Argus:

This is Joy and David Edwards. They are devoted grandparents to Jacob and Lily Evans, Nyree and Mireya Lowther and Evan Franklin. They are all used to seeing each other every day before and after school. My parents often have them for sleepovers and cook for all 13 of us most Sundays. It has been very difficult for all the children and my parents. Bingo on video calls is keeping them going.

All five grandchildren would like them to know how much they love and miss them and my sisters and I would like them to know that when all this is over they are welcome to as many sleepovers as they feel they need!

We normally spend every Saturday with our Great nanny Rose and Great Grandad Pete, we love them so so much and miss them so much too, more than our dolly mixtures and sweeties! When mummy and daddy are both at work we are always with our nanny and Bampi Fegi dog and then our Nanny and Bampi Hazel dog. We miss our Nanny's and Bampi's so much and wish could give them a big run and jump hug. If you can, Please can you tell our nanny Hazel dog, bampi Hazel dog, nanny Fergie dog, bampi Fergi dog, Great nanny Rose and Great grandad Pete that we "Miss them" please? Thank you so much newsman/lady. Lots of love Sophia and my baby brother Rohan
