SE13 clapped at 8pm.

What about everyone else?

For those of you who think it doesn’t matter, it does, really. It has made my work FB light up feeling loved and cared for. My staff and me go in day after day anxious and stressed and this has made them feel happy.
Please don’t stop looking after these people, the stress at the moment is beyond horrific. And please do not compare nurses to soldiers. No one goes into nursing to potentially die from a virus.

Remote, quite rural SE Kent - we went out the back and there was a lot of shouting, cheering etc. very moving, I hope it makes NHS staff feel appreciated - although quite understand that PPE would be more useful.

I forgot and only remembered 10 mins ago. I've just been pottering around the house. I didnt hear anything so assuming my street didnt.

Lots of clapping here another part of London.

Was a load of clapping, cheering and whooping in our part of SW6. I got quite choked up.

Loads of clapping in SE22

Loads here - cheshire. It was lovely.

I’m in Lancashire on a fairly large housing estate, saw maybe 3 or 4 people clapping, saw a handful of neighbours stood around chatting but not clapping. Most didn’t bother.

Our little cul de sac shouted, whistled and clapped.

Oh great, I didn't know. Now all my neighbours will probably think I'm an arsehole.

CR2 was out clapping too

Then DH showed me footage of the London Ambulance staff opening their windows and listening to the applause and that finished me off

Lots of claps and cheers heard here in Durham I feel very proud of my family members who work for the NHS.
I pray they stay safe.

Clapping cheering, fireworks and country Music in South Leicestershire. It was lovely.

Didn’t know about it, think the idea is cringe.

I wasn't going to. I thought no one would and that it would make no difference but DD wanted to, then we heard the whole street. It was lovely.

On a side note, HOW CUTE / BIG is prince louis now?

Lots of clapping loud and loud cheering here.

Lots of clapping and drumming and fireworks in East Sussex

A lot of clapping, cheering and fireworks in South Manchester.
It was lovely.

Very loud in SE3

Loads of clapping, whistling and whooping (and fireworks) in SW London. It was great!
Brought us all together for a few minutes!

I thought it would be cringeworthy and nobody in my street would anyway but they did and it was truly lovely, thank you! (waiting to be deployed!)

We had bells in SW!

Didn’t know about it, think the idea is cringe

Well, my dsis who is a nurse dealing with Covid patients said it gave her a real boost and made her feel like people are really grateful to nhs workers.
So I don’t give a crap if it made you “cringe” quite frankly!

Whilst it's no doubt lovely, I'd encourage people to help in more practical ways if you're not already doing so.

Sign up as a volunteer. Give blood. Donate money. Offer help to NHS workers in your local communities (with shopping for example).

Standing outside clapping might be easy and cost you nothing more than 2 minutes of your time, and it might make everyone feel good, but real practical help is needed too, and everyone can get involved in some way, even if you can only give £2 to your local hospital trust.
