The Clap For Our Carers, or #clapforourcarers, campaign saw people across the UK applaud NHS workers, delivery drivers, shop workers and a multitude of other key workers from the doorsteps, balconies or windows of their homes, in order to say thank you for all of their ongoing hard work.

The first 'Clap For Our Carers' campaign saw communities across the city join together for a mass round of applause.

Firefighters also joined in by putting their engines' lights and sirens on and clapping proudly outside the Leeds General Infirmary.

Even train drivers joined in on Clap For Our Carers by sounding their horn as they left Leeds Station.

You can join the Clap for Our Carers campaign again next week.
