Good Morning Britain remembers the 100,000 lives lost to Covid-19 in moving tribute
The tribute has been described as ‘powerful’
Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid have been praised online for their moving tribute to those who have lost their lives to coronavirus.
This morning’s Good Morning Britain saw hosts Piers and Susanna read out the names of some of those who have lost their lives to the virus, providing details into their lives.
It comes after the UK’s death toll surpassed 100,000 earlier this week.
Stood in front of a video montage of photos of those lost to Covid-19, Susanna and Piers read out a few names, explaining that for every name they read there were at least 4,000 more people.
Viewers have reacted to the tribute on Twitter writing: “This is very moving, thank you @piersmorgan and @susannareid100 #GMB.”
A second added: “My beautiful 95 year old Nana died 3 weeks ago. She had ‘recovered’ from Covid but it had ripped through her body, accelerated her dementia and a week later, she left us. Thank you for such a moving tribute to these lives lost”.
Another said: “Thank you for the tribute to the people who have lost their lives and their families. I lost my Dad in May and feel like they are the forgotten ones in this pandemic. It all feels surreal as we couldn’t be with him when he needed us most almost.”
“Thank you so much for sharing this heartbreaking tribute this morning to all the people who have died, including my beloved Nan Helen. Thank you,” another comment read.
