Emotional BBC journalists unite to offer message of hope for the future amid coronavirus

A group of BBC journalists have gathered to send a message of positivity to viewers - and remind them that life will get back to normal at some point.

In a video circulated on social media, a number of big names in broadcasting took it upon themselves to let the public know that friends and family will one day be reunited, but in the meantime, the Beeb is there to keep us informed.

The video opens with journalists taking a seat in front of the camera.

"OK, ready," begins Question Time's Fiona Bruce.

Filming in a deserted Oxford Circus in London, Sophie Raworth says: "One day, I will tell you there are no new cases."

Clive Myrie adds: "And I'll read that the Nightingale [Hospital] is closing down."

Political correspondent Laura Kuennsberg says in Westminster: "We'll take time to reflect and remember those lives lost..."

"And we'll hug our loved ones," smiles Nikki Fox.

"Our kids will play with their friends," adds Sarah Smith, "And finally go back to school."

"We will see our colleagues again," says another.

"Sport will return," says an enthusiastic Dan Walker, "Whether you like it or not."

Tina Daheley continues: "Cafes, shops and cinemas will open their doors."

"One day," says Fiona again, "Plans will be made, and kept."

Huw Edwards rounds off the video from his BBC news desk: "And until then, we'll be here, to help you understand what's happening every step of the way."

Viewers were left blubbing by the compilation, one laughing: "As if I just cried at an advert for the news."

"Gosh," another admitted, "That made me cry!"

"Beautiful," a third gushed, "Keep it up."
