Anyone doing it, just open your front door & clap for the N.H.S. & everyone else who is working to keep this country working. They need our support in every which way. I & a couple of nieghbours are doing it. So grateful to everyone. <3

I'm planning to do it Hilary :-)

If I did it The villagers would be sending the black maria for me.

What a lovely idea...

Well I did it! I was worried that I would be the only one but a good proportion of our street were out clapping too <3

Well done and thank you to all those from NHS staff, to Carers, to Shop workers and cleaning staff. You put your lives on the line for us <3

We did it a couple of others in the Avenue did. they are all worth their weight in Gold NHS & everyone else who are helping in this very difficult time God Bless <3

My Mum just said almost all her street did it and the ships in Southampton port were doing their horns.

I live on a corner and both roads came out it was wonderful and hope it happens again I'm very proud of our NHS

We went out, as did a few others. Next time, possibly tomorrow, am tempted to sound the car horn to bring out the rest - we are all in this together - no one knows who will need medical help. There are not any young children about to disturb.

We did. Just been looking on FB and we were far from alone :-D :-D :-D
May those wonderful selfless NHS workers be blessed enough to come through this awful situation.

Daughter and I went outside.
Many of our street were out.
It was a lovely chance too to engage with my next door neighbour, who I had a chat with through her front window.

We are so fortunate to have an NHS. and non more so than during this present crisis.

Car horns tooting, people blowing vuvuzelas, clapping and cheering around here!
I was reduced to a wet face. <3 <3 <3 NHS

We joined in as did quite a few others in our road. Just hope the government remember how grateful they are to NHS staff when the next round of pay rises comes around.

Thought it would only be me & a couple of neighbours but a few more came out, so pleased that the nation came out, not sure if we are supposed to do it every night, anyone else know. Bless all our N.H.S. plus everyone else working to keep us going. <3

We did it! We flung open the windows, and to our surprise most of the other houses in the street did the same. I have to say it made me very emotional.

There was clapping, cheering, whistling, cars were honking their horns as they passed.

Well done everyone for honouring the NHS they deserve all our praise.

In Italy they're sing to each other from their balconies, some blowing their horns.

My husband would like to say a big thank you to everyone who clapped and cheered last night. He was on a day shift and finished at 8pm, as he left his place of work everyone in the houses opposite clapped and cheered. Such a lovely thoughtful thing to do. He is a carer in the UK

Gill that was nice. yes some of us were clapping in our close. Some were outside but a couple of us were leaning out our upstairs windows. We could hear the clapping from all the roads around. Our village are doing it next Thursday same time but with a difference. "Torches light up the sky. to the sky and a cheer".

Wail online "Millions 'Clap for Carers' in spine-tingling nationwide tribute to NHS staff led by royal children, celebrities and the Prime Minister"

Led by...…??? Aren't these people bigged up too much already? :-|

Friend told me today that we are supposed to do it on Thursdays which is what Ann said, anyone else heard it, think it is a good idea. Hope we don't copy the Italians though & we have to sing. Listen to John Lennon's song, Imagine. If only his words could come true. Maybe someone could put the words on, sorry I don't know how to do it.
