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.
An emotional gesture that brought the UK together in gratitude for those working hard to treat everyone affected by the virus. We’re bringing you some of the best videos of people saying thank you to those working for our NHS, and everyone supporting them.
Thank you for everything! #ClapForTheNHS #NHSheroes pic.twitter.com/nh4B6cxYi0

Staff at Royal Mail, who are also working hard during the outbreak to ensure we can stay in touch with our loved ones and receive essential items in the post, showed their support:

And, some little Royals even got involved to show their thanks:
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:

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 youโre all giving us as we do our best to be there for you. ๐๐๐ #ClapForCarers pic.twitter.com/3K5aml4CGR
