At 8pm on eroticism in parisThursday, millions of people in the UK stood at front doors, on balconies, and in windows to clap for our National Health Service (NHS) workers.
Some cheered, others banged pots and pans, and some beeped horns. It was an emotional, deeply moving tribute for the healthcare workers currently battling the coronavirus pandemic, and putting their lives at risk to do so.
For those taking part, it was an act of community and a way to say thank you to doctors, nurses, paramedics, GPs, pharmacists, and everyone working on the frontline to care for the nation.
The idea for #ClapForOurCarers came from Annemarie Plas, who lives in London and was inspired by similar tributes in the Netherlands, Spain, and France. In an interview with HuffPost UK, Plas said she hoped the act would give some "strength and boost to whoever needs it."
"I hope that it will give that boost to the frontline people, people that we’ve often taken for granted," she said. "They can see how much we appreciate them. Without them we are no one."
