If you're celebrating your birthday during the coronavirus shutdown, chances are it's a lot different than you planned.

We're going to try and make it a bit better - by sharing a message from your loved ones.

We asked for contributions - and so far we've been inundated!

Here are some of the happy birthday messages

This is my daughter Rosie-Lou, she is going to be 5 on Tuesday (24th)! She was so looking forward to spending her birthday at school with her friends but she won’t be able to. Having to tell her she won’t get to have her party either has been heartbreaking as she doesn’t understand why all this is happening.

Oxford Mail:

Editor’s note – we’re so sorry your party has been cancelled Rosie-Lou. We hope you’ll be able to celebrate with your friends soon. Sending you lots of happy birthday wishes for Tuesday
