Inspired by a BBC article, a journalist asked people to share the last “normal photo” on their phones.
The #LastNormalPhoto is now trending on Twitter, with thousands of people sharing images of what feels like a different lifetime.
The BBC recently asked people to share an image their pre-COVID life, asking for the “last normal photo” in everyone’s camera roll.
They then published an article over the weekend with 13 images, and 13 people’s touching stories about those images, from weddings to huge sporting events.
Inspired by the article, journalist Robyn Vinter also asked Twitter users to share, and the response was huge.

A long time ago, my Sunday mornings were all about Hiking. I miss those long nature walks. #Day52ofLockdown #lastnormalphoto pic.twitter.com/TCZdml5dah

My #lastnormalphoto Mar 7 at the cricket at the small Potchefstroom ground for #SAVAUS
Amazing atmosphere, so many braais and cooler boxes, big beer Qs, all squished in with our camp chairs trying to catch the shade. patiently wait the years to do that again 🙏 pic.twitter.com/YFO1GIew0y
