The Clap For Carers campaign, which started online, has been staged because ‘during these unprecedented times they need to know we are grateful’, the organisers said.
It followed similar moves in Italy and Spain – which have the world’s highest death tolls – which created astonishing scenes earlier this month as they applauded from terraces in the countries’ cities.
Chief nursing officer of the NHS Ruth May said she appreciated the national salute planned to honour NHS workers.
We did it! As one of the stars who spearheaded the clapping campaign, Chris Moyles proudly took to Twitter to share his delight at seeing so many of his neighbours get involved
Ruth said: ‘Nurses and midwives in our care staff are working around the clock. They are working so hard. And I have a very huge personal thank you to make to them.
She said she felt ‘very humble, very proud, and a clap for our carers will mean so much for all of our NHS staff and social care teams as well. Thank you. I appreciate it.’
A London-based intensive care nurse added to MailOnline: ‘It’s such a nice appreciation for the staff and we really are thank for it. We all really appreciate it.
‘Nurses don’t want to be heroes, we don’t want to be that, we just want people to not be sick and not have to come into us. We don’t see ourselves as heroes, this is just what we do on a daily basis.’
We’ve done it! Georgia Toffolo took to Instagram to share a snap of herself at home during the lockdown, asking her followers whether they joined in the clapping
Clap For Carers is part of the #lightitblue campaign which has been organised by members of the events and entertainment industry as a way to say thank you.
Piers Morgan, Chris Moyles and Kate Garraway were among the celebrity presenters who said they backed the event.
Radio X presenter Moyles rallied his listeners to ‘make some noise for the thousands and thousands of people [in the NHS] that we’ll probably never meet, just to say ‘thank you’ for everything they are doing for us’ with a powerful message.
Following the applause, Chris took to Twitter in disbelief to share his reaction, writing: ‘Delighted to say loads of neighbours were outside clapping, cheering, whistling and even banging pans to make noise for our amazing, brilliant and brave NHS workers. Thank you for everything you do for us. #clapforNHS.’
