England’s Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty has emerged as a voice of sense and reason for during the coronavirus pandemic, cutting through the turbulence of lockdown with a calmly-delivered dose of fact.

The Chris Whitty Appreciation Society Facebook group has garnered thousands of followers and fans have even created mugs bearing his face and the catchphrase “Next Slide Please”.

We’d like to hear who your lockdown voice of reason has been; someone who has kept you grounded, comforted or informed. Perhaps it is your favourite newsreader, a clued-up family member, or a supportive friend.
