British Vogue is honouring those on the frontline of the coronavirus pandemic by featuring three key workers on the cover.

In its July issue , the fashion bible has swapped models and celebrities in favour of three female key workers who appear as cover stars.

Titled The New Front Line, the magazine's latest issue issue features Narguis Horsford, a train driver on the London Overground, Rachel Millar, a 24-year-old community midwife in east London and Anisa Omar, a 21-year-old supermarket worker in King's Cross.

The women were captured by photographer Jamie Hawkesworth as part of a 20-page portfolio for the magazine and each spoke to the publication to reveal their experiences of working throughout the pandemic.

Narguis Horsford has worked for Transport for London for 10 years and driven overground trains for five years.

While she doesn't feel "anxious" about going to work, she explained she chose to distance herself from her family during lockdown to protect them because "I'm out here and I'm on the front line.

"I am no hero, but I'm proud of being a train driver and the essential role we are playing during the coronavirus crisis.

"Our services are vitally important to keep London moving throughout these unprecedented times and maintaining safety, to ensure our key workers can get to where they need to be to provide the services that are required."
