One resident, Chris Watt, posted in the Covid Co-Operation Harrogate Facebook group, writing: "Thank you Harrogate! My wife is frontline clinical at the hospital and didn't think anyone would notice what she does or would do the applause tonight. She burst into (happy) tears when I dragged her outside at 8 and she heard the noise including all of our small street out clapping."
And his message was met with hundreds of comments from people across the district, heaping praise on those doing a wonderful job and keeping us safe.
Susan Lister Pegg wrote: "I'm only on a small cul de sac but everyone came out, it sounded like a thousand people! Such a small gesture but we're all so proud of the care givers, nurses & doctors who work so hard in such difficult circumstances. A special thank you to the district nurses who looked after my dear mum like she was their own mum. I can only liken them to angels, because they are. Truly amazing humans."
