I finished my shift, took off my PPE, changed out of my uniform, and walked out of the front of the hospital to applause. And fireworks. And horns honking.

I cried. Thank you, so much. #ClapForTheNHS

Loudest & longest #ClapForOurCarers we had in our neighbourhood so far tonight. Sounded like a couple of fireworks going off too! Thank you to all of our key workers! Hope the people working nearby at York Hospital heard us ♥ #clapforkeyworkers #ClapForTheNHS
