Scotland’s First Minister led the nation in another "Clap For Our Carers" tribute to NHS workers this evening.
Nicola Sturgeon tweeted a video of herself applauding, and tweeted: “Thank you so much to everyone working hard every day to care for us and keep our essential services going #ClapForOurCarers #ClapForTheNHS."
Chancellor Rishi Sunak said there was “so much to clap for” at the weekly clap for carers event on Thursday evening.
Tweeting a photo of himself clapping, he wrote: “We’re past the peak, it’s Captain Tom’s Birthday and we have the best carers of anywhere in the world.
“So much to clap for tonight.”
Prime Minister Boris Johnson also tweeted: “Tonight I proudly clapped outside 10 Downing Street for our fantastic NHS and carers. Thank you all for everything you are doing.”
New mother Carrie Symonds said she would be joining in the clap for carers again, a day after giving birth to a baby boy.

“Thank you so, so much!”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
