Most - but not all - people have been heeding the Government restrictions, with Scarborough's streets and seafront almost deserted yesterday on the first day of lockdown, as seen in these photos. The police can disperse gatherings of more than two people, can ask people if their journeys are essential and issue fines to those flouting the new regulations.
