If Covid-19 has taught me anything, it is that Community matters, when we are in need we need people to come together around us. Since the pub has closed it has become clear how much of a community we are here at the Duke of York, there have been many stories shared about how someone has helped with shopping, or been at the end of a phone when a chat is needed and lets not forget the Weekly Duke Quiz that has happened every Saturday night. All of these things show that not only is the Duke a "pub" but it is also a community centre, where Ideas are discussed, Friendships are made and relationships have bloomed. Without the pub and each other we would just be strangers in the street, without the funny stories, anecdotes, memories (and maybe the hangover or two)

So don't be a stranger, pop down and share some of your #LockdownStories
