The SUNSHINE and easing of restrictions gave a sense of normality across Berkshire yesterday.
For the first time this year, most hairdressers, shops, gyms and beer gardens reopened.
A steady stream of people flowed through the town centres including The Lexicon, The Oracle and Windsor to visit high street favourites such as Primark, River Island and TK Maxx.
