Clap for our Carers: Sport stars join in tribute to NHS workers fighting coronavirus

Written by on 27/03/2020

Sports stars joined the country for a #clapforourcarers round of applause from home to show their appreciation to NHS workers.

Leicester striker Jamie Vardy was among those joining in along with Tottenham forward Lucas Moura, Manchester United defender Harry Maguire, Crystal Palace forward Christian Benteke and former England Women’s cricketer Isa Guha.

Organisers of the Clap for our Carers initiative wanted the country to come together to show their appreciation to doctors, nurses and all those tackling the coronavirus pandemic.

It took place at 8pm on Thursday from the nation’s doorsteps, windows, gardens and balconies.

The idea came from yoga teacher Annemarie Plas, 36, who has said she is “so grateful and thankful” after the campaign went viral.
