THE BIG CLAP!

I wasn't sure whether to do it on my street with everyone being old but, there they all were whistling and clapping. I'm in bits now....

Boats were hooting, cars up and down sounding their horns and people clapping all over the place and fireworks going off.

Two of the cats were wondering what was going on.

I didn't think it would happen in our little village, especially the way the houses are arranged, but I went outside and there was clapping and whooping and someone even sounded their car horn.

I'm really pleased, especially since we've had to stop ringing the church bell to remind everyone that they're cared for and about.

The NHS has never welcomed the clap before! We did the deed, so did the people across the road and there were fireworks in the distance. Let's hope we can all stay out of hospital.

Exactly the same as Septimia- quite emotional.

Was pleased most came out in our little street.

Just come in. Lots of people out, clapping and cheering and rattling different utensils. Very moving.

That was brilliant?

We went to our window and bashed a saucepan with a ladle. Across the valley we heard others. Amazing!

THANKYOU ALL CARERS EVERYWHERE

Glad there were no fireworks- Hattie would have been terrified

Plenty of clappers around my all town in N. Bucks. Very moving.

A neighbour here played "Flower of Scotland" on her saxophone. This was followed by a child from another house making discordant noises on one of those football hooters - not quite as melodic but certainly LOUD.

A very moving experience with people clapping, cheering and whistling. Something to remember when this nightmare is over. Stay safe everyone.

We've just done it. There were loads of people out on our street. Someone was banging on a saucepan! A few fireworks were let off somewhere too.

All out here in my town. Clapping and cheering. Wonderful. It brought a tear to my eye. Thank you to our NHS staff.

Flashing lights, courtesy of opposite neighbours, lots of clapping.

So good to hear! Great response in our little cul de sac, and we could hear others in the village too!

Uplifting!

Wonderful. My husband and I stood outside thinking we were alone in our cul-de-sac but lights started flashing. A neighbour with a saucepan and wooden spoon. Most others came out and we all clapped and cheered. We feel for the NHS this must be their worst time since their beginnings in July 1948.

Very special and incredibly moving

Very moving on a starry night. Great.

Great round of applause and cheers. Feeling emotional !

We were out clapping. I tried to film it but clapping and filming don't go together. Lots out on our street clapping and cheering and a few fireworks. My daughter , who is a speech therapist and specialises in treating patients with breathing problems, lives round the corner. She was in tears. And a neighbour gave her a bottle of wine.

We joined in. It was hard to see how many others there were as we have primitive street lights but we weren’t alone. Dh nearly split my eardrum by whistling with his fingers!

I can’t see or hear other people’s front doors, so I don’t know if it happened anywhere near me or not. I didn’t do it, but I watched a bit on television. It’s interesting that you’re all so positive about it. I thought it was a rather silly, childish idea, though I admire the NHS as much as anyone. I just thank any NHS worker I come into contact with.
