Queues built up outside shops – with bargain hunters snaking around the block at Primark in the Market Place.

Barbers and beauty salons also had queueing customers – although not all businesses have re-opened.
Here’s a pictorial look at life in Doncaster town centre on the first day of lockdown easing.
