People came together last night to thank the NHS and care workers who are on the front line of battle against coronavirus.
It was a truly moving spectacle as at 8pm people flocked to their windows and balconies to take part in the 'clap for carers' tribute.
It was another fantastic demonstration of the people coming together at this time of crisis.
There are some very tough days ahead, of that there is no doubt, but with this sort of collective spirit we will come through it together.
We hope you and your families have a safe and enjoyable weekend as possible.
