Angela Humphery shows local comedian Ricky Gervais how to socially distance on the Heath

• I WAS appalled while doing my morning walk on Hampstead Heath on Sunday morning to see the paths crowded with fellow walkers not social distancing and few wearing masks.

Many girls were walking three abreast, passing me a less than a foot away; and when I held out my walking pole to show the two metres they should keep between us, I was verbally abused.

While the young seem totally unaware of how dangerous the situation is, feeling immortal, those of us in our 90s know we are not. How can we convince them to help us oldies stay safe by keeping away from us?

I was also able to show local comedian and fellow Heath walker, Ricky Gervais, how to keep a safe distance. If Ricky can do it so can you.
