This is the weekly expression of public support for public service workers in recognition on their amazing contribution through the Covid crisis.
Dozens of emergency service workers visited hospitals across Leicester and the county to applaud the work of the NHS.

There were similar scenes at Glenfield Hospital and Leicester General Hospital.
Leicester City Council and Leicestershire County Council both lit up buildings and some of our local landmarks to honour NHS staff
