DID YOU clap for Captain Sir Tom last night?
People were asked to clap for Keighley-born Captain Sir Tom Moore at 6pm to honour the national hero.
Staff at Bradford Royal Infirmary led the way in the Bradford district by taking part in the national event, which also saw Prime Minister Boris Johnson take to the steps of 10 Downing Street.
The 100-year-old World War Two veteran, who raised nearly £33 million for the NHS by walking laps of his garden, passed away on Tuesday from pneumonia after testing positive for coronavirus.
After some confusion about when the clap would take place, Prime Minister Boris Johnson encouraged the nation to stand on their doorsteps and make some noise at 6pm.
It comes after hundreds of people cheered on our NHS workers on the frontline during the first lockdown.
