IT is hard to believe how much has changed about our lives in the past couple of weeks.
Just two weeks ago today, Friday, all pubs, bars and restaurants were ordered to close.
While it will be two weeks on Monday since Prime Minister Boris Johnson called for a lockdown with people only allowed out for one dose of exercise and essential shopping trips or key work.
We have been out and about, getting a flavour for how life has changed.
The city centre has been deserted
Morning rush hour is all quiet on the A27
All the restaurants in Prince Albert Street have been closed
While queues to get in supermarkets are now the norm
Sainsbury's
The seafront is empty
Dreams of holidays will be left for later in the year or 2021
But it's not all bad. We've heard heartwarming tales of neighbours looking our for one another. Here is Claudia Marsh's next door neighbours checking she is OK through the fence
And the rainbows have cheered everyone up
