UK lockdown: Take a look at some of the North East's quarantine haircuts

Ordinarily people may have been reluctant to let family members and relatives cut their hair – yet the UK lockdown has forced many to take action.

With barbers and hairdressers set to be closed for the foreseeable future, some people in the North East have taken matters into their own hands. Earlier this week we asked our readers to share their lockdown haircuts on our Facebook pages. Scroll down and flick though the picture gallery to see some of the responses:
