British Vogue’s three cover stars represent the millions of people in the UK who, at the height of the pandemic, in the face of dangers large and small, put on their uniforms and work clothes and went to help people.

Edward Enninful, Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue said: “If you had told me at the beginning of the year that Vogue’s July cover stars would be Narguis Horsford, a train driver on the London Overground,Rachel Millar, 24, a community midwife in east London, and Anisa Omar, a 21year old supermarket worker in King’s Cross, I might not have believed you. But I can think of no more appropriate trio of women to represent the millions of people in the UK who, at the height of the pandemic, in the face of dangers large and small, put on their uniforms and work clothes and went to help people.”

Photographer Jamie Hawkesworth captured a few of the extraordinary people who are putting their health at risk for the rest of the nation in a 20 page portfolio for the July issue of British Vogue.All expressed a renewed pride in what they, and their colleagues, do, but none saw themselves as exceptional. Travel limitations meant that Hawkesworth had to remain in London, where he lives, but his pictures tell a story that will be familiar across Britain.
