Good Friday, also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Long Friday, High Friday, Silent Friday and Black Friday. The term “Good" comes from the obsolete sense of the word, "pious, holy". It's a time when the church gets busy with services. Lots of them. But this year many will be virtual.

And there are a whole load of customs to mark the day. Tinsley Green Marbles, Washing Molly Grime and Workington Football - the mass game with a pitch covering about a mile and a half! History records that at least two players have drowned in the past.

Unsurprisingly, we spent the day at home.

And a very good Good Friday to one and all.
