In a gesture of thanks to the frontline healthcare heroes, everyone across the nation has been invited to join a a mass round of applause from their doorsteps, windows and balconies on Thursday at 8pm.

Landmarks across the UK will be lit up blue during the salute, which is part of the #lightitblue campaign.

Gary White and Chuck Crampton, who jointly started #lightitblue, said in a joint statement: “The events and entertainment industry finds itself in an unprecedented state of enforced inaction.

“The best thing we can do – apart from staying at home – is to use our skills and networks to say thank you to everyone who is supporting the NHS and risking their own health to help others during this pandemic.”
