Memorial Day throughout the years shows people celebrating across the country… while we’re all stuck inside this year

PHOTOGRAPHS of Memorial Day crowds from years past show just how much life in the US has changed amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Traditionally, Americans flock to beaches, gather at backyard barbecues and unfurl picnic blankets in parks.

But this year, celebrations have been marred by COVID-19.
