Kate said: ‘After what has happened this year I absolutely think people will be getting more creative with their entries.
‘What we’ve seen throughout lockdown is that people have been looking for things they can do together – things they can share.
‘We’ve seen lots of colourful, handmade rainbows for the NHS and things like that have helped to connect the community.

After an extended separation thanks to lockdown, Kate believes a creative family photo in the sunshine could be the key to One Summer’s Day’s success.
It comes as Britons enjoy their loved ones’ company following a period of only being allowed to meet with one other person outside when lockdown began on March 23.
In a message to Saturday’s competition hopefuls, Kate said: ‘Just keep taking those pictures.

‘When I took mine, I was just looking at my goddaughter while she was eating a strawberry and thought “that’s a bit of a One Summer’s Day picture”. It can just come to you.’
