We lit up some of our buildings earlier tonight to remember those who’ve lost their lives to Covid-19, and to pay tribute to all key workers and the NHS.
A nationwide clap to thank the NHS and all key workers and carers will also take place tomorrow (Sunday, July 5) at 5pm in what is intended to become an annual tradition.
Please take part in the clap, which also marks the 72nd anniversary of the NHS.

A few weeks ago, we also lit up our buildings in rainbow colours to say thank you to all key workers. Take a look at the images below…
