People across the city joined those across the country by coming to their windows and doorways and putting their hands together yesterday, Thursday, March 26, at 8pm, to show their gratitude for the amazing job being done by everyone in the NHS, from doctors and nurses to cleaners.
It was such a moving display of unity in these uncertain times there have been calls to make it a weekly event and even to declare March 26 a national day of thanks for the NHS.
