The weekly clapping event that saw people take to their doorsteps in the first lockdown is returning this week.
During the first national lockdown the nation took to their doorsteps, windows and balconies to show their support for the heroic work of the NHS.
And as we enter yet another lockdown the event is returning, although this time around Clap for Carers will have a new name – Clap for Heroes.
The woman who came up with the original idea, Annemarie Plas, took to Twitter to share the news, confirming that the weekly clap will be at the same time as previously, 8pm every Thursday.
She said: “We are bringing back the 8pm applause, in our 3rd lockdown, I hope it can lift the spirits of all of us.
“Carers, teachers, homeschooling parents, those who shield and ALL who are pushing through this difficult time! Please join & share!”
During the first lockdown Clap for Carers went on for ten weeks, with hundreds of thousands taking to their doorsteps, clapping and banging pots and pans to show their support.
Are you happy to see it return?
