THE deserted streets of York city centre during coronavirus lockdown have been filmed from the air with a drone.
The drone footage, supplied to The Press by a reader, shows barely a soul in sight in the area around the Minster, normally buzzing with tourists and worshippers.
It's a similar picture near the City Walls and Lendal Bridge, with just a couple of vehicles in an area which is often choked with traffic.
Stonegate is also empty of the usual crowds of tourists and shoppers.
*This drone footage has been posted on social media by the maker, who says they are a fully qualified drone pilot, accredited by the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority). Police have warned that permission is needed from the CAA for drones to be flown in the city centre and that the CAA does not allow them to be flown close to buildings.
