The nationwide tribute, called Clap for Our Carers, saw people up and down the UK clap and cheer simultaneously at 8pm last night (3 April).
Some families set off fireworks while others banged drums and rang bells during the applause which followed a similar outpouring of support for NHS staff last Thursday.
Once again, at 8pm tonight, we’ll demonstrate our solidarity and support for our front line workers from our doorsteps. Let's clap for our NHS heroes, supermarket workers, teachers, cleaners, carers and everyone keeping our city safe and connected 👏 #ClapForOurCarers pic.twitter.com/UQ5HBufiPG
