'Clap for our carers' was the message sent all around the UK on Thursday by Annemarie Plas.
She told BBC, "I hoped it would create a positive boost for those on the frontline.
"But also, for tonight, at 8 pm, and you hear your neighbours applauding, that you also know that we’re all together in this."
With the UK on lockdown, people stood on their front porches, stepped out on their balconies and peered out the windows, confident in knowing they’re not alone when they heard the applause.
