Halloween is going to be very different this year. With Covid safety restrictions in place, there will be no trick-or-treating or parties, but there’s still fun to be had with costumes, decorations and pumpkin carving at home.
We’ve delved into our picture archive to take a look at Halloween celebrations in local schools and neighbourhoods over the years.
