This was Dorset County Hospital last night as residents gave a huge round of applause to all frontline workers during the coronavirus pandemic.

For a second week, the whole country took to doorsteps, balconies and gardens to Clap for our Carers.

It's a national campaign which encourages us all to show our appreciation for healthcare workers, emergency services, armed services, delivery drivers, shop workers, teachers, waste collectors, manufacturers, postal workers, cleaners, vets, engineers and all those who are out there making an unbelievable difference to our lives in these challenging times.

Once again, Dorset did a great job and clapping, cheering and the clattering of pots and pans could be heard all over the county.

Firefighters, police and hospital staff all joined in to pay homage to their colleagues on the front line.

Dorset Echo:

Weymouth and Portland Lions Club mascot Kevin the Lion also took part and was out and about at home in Sussex Road, Weymouth, showing his appreciation, along with neighbours and friends, for our fantastic NHS doctors nurses.

 Cheers and clapping could be heard all across Bridport VIDEO: PHILL PURCHASE
