One Harrogate street has been keeping spirits high during the coronavirus lockdown by getting involved in a daily exercise class.
"Right. Now some squats," Mel Milnes bellowed out at around 8.30am on Spring Grove to a group of around 20 eager participants.
The classes started out with just one side of the street a couple of weeks ago before the rest of the neighbours wanted to get involved.
From then it has become a daily ritual at the same time from Monday to Friday.
Mel is not pretending to be a fully qualified fitness instructor but, then again, this isn't an intense fat burning class.
Mel has led many of the classes but she has also got other people lined up for the microphone, with an eight-year-old girl trying it out tomorrow.
