Watch as the UK comes together to #ClapForOurCarers
Last night, thousands of us around the country came together to clap for those on the frontline of the Coronavirus outbreak: the NHS medical staff treating patients, the carers, support workers and all key workers at this time.
Across the capital, it felt like the entire city was united in thanks for our NHS workers:Thank you for everything! #ClapForTheNHS #NHSheroes pic.twitter.com/nh4B6cxYi0

Not only were we clapping, but in some parts of the country, buildings and areas were turned entirely blue to raise awareness about the important work being done:
And the gratitude was felt by those working so hard to keep us and our loved ones safe at this time, as demonstrated by Craig, an NHS worker on the frontline in A&E:A stunning image of Manchester turning blue tonight to support our NHS caught by @vincent_cole #ClapForTheNHS #ThankYouNHS pic.twitter.com/7aGBby0gI7

Did you join in the #ClapForCarers last night? Let us know on Twitter and Instagram.Incredibly touching to hear the applause (and fireworks!) erupt from the windows and balconies around me on the way home from the hospital. Thank you so much everyone – we really value the support you’re all giving us as we do our best to be there for you. 💙💙💙 #ClapForCarers pic.twitter.com/3K5aml4CGR
