With pandemic restrictions in place, the festive celebrations will be very different this year. Reverend Andrew Forster, Church of Ireland Bishop of Derry and Raphoe, said 2020 had been a 'harrowing' year for so many people, especially those who lost loved ones. However, while urging people to continue to be vigiliant against the disease, he said people should try to look at the positives in their lives.
