RED Nose Day 2021 is not the day full of laughs and fundraising it has been in past years.

Ongoing social distancing restrictions and a thoroughly miserable year have put paid to any plans to celebrate the annual day of fun and frivolity.

So, the County Times has also gone through its archives for Red Nose Day celebrations of the past.

If you have any old photos or stories you would like to share, you can submit them by emailing gavin.grosvenor@newsquest.co.uk
