Is tonight's clap for carers - the weekly event to celebrate those working on the front line of the coronavirus pandemic - the last one?
This evening many of us in the UK will grab our pots and pans, scoop up the dog, and nervously look out of the window to make sure our neighbours are doing the same.
"Even though I have lived here 17 years I have got to know people I never would have met," Andrea Dawson says.Reuters Frank Chalmers, of the Lissenden Gardens Tenants Association, said the weekly ritual has been"very good for the community" and promised to"go out with a bang this evening". Mr Chalmers said as a result of the weekly clap there were now plans to hold regular concerts with local children performing, and to celebrate the local community, as well as sharing a weekly newsletter.
